My overall impression
Electrifying. Raw. Visceral.
Joe Coffey’s ‘Bulger Boys’ grapples with the life of the famous Boston gangster, Jimmy (Whitey) Bulger and his public servant brother, Billy Bulger. With each twist of fate between these brothers, Coffey is able to shift effortlessly between each emotional pivot. A simple gesture, so pure, allows the audience to become fully engulfed in each character, from aging father to childhood brothers.
Coffey preforms at such a high level, this is worthy of a stage twice its size. If this is what Los Angeles theater has to offer, we now have the bar set higher by this performance. This is what the theater was made for.
