The Wake

My overall impression

Ben Moroski did a fantastic job in this one person show as Pete Harrisburg, who is still smarting from the breakup with his last girlfriend. He kept you riveted from start to finish with an emotional depth and intensity that was soul stirring, yet still managed to be hilariously funny. The play never ceased to surprise and astonish, with lighting cues that teased the character as they changed the small stage from an apartment to a rave to a bedroom without missing a beat. Ben has the gift of completely immersing you in his imaginary world. His is a shining talent, and I urge you to come see him in this intimate venue before you have to pay Broadway prices.
