My overall impression
There’s a new voice in the American Playwriting world. His name is Christian Levatino. You’ve seen him acting and directing on the LA stage circuit for over ten years. Now he’s taken the bit, and written an original that will make you wish he’d been writing all along. His play, Sunny Afternoon, is workshopping during this years LA Fringe festival. If you have any artistic pretensions, get off your ass and go see something that is like holding a live wire for 90 minutes of direct current. The play is bold, meticulous in detail, flooded with character, and challenging in every respect. If you think you know something about the assassination of Kennedy, about America, and about Coke a Cola, Sunny Afternoon will make you think again; if you think you know what LA Theatre is about, then Sunny Afternoon will really make you think again.
