My overall impression
What a fun hour this play was. Marc Peter Reyna magically brings to life a brash, hard-drinking, womanizing, and competitive true-life 1930s Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher with a charm, humility, and sincerity that captures us from beat one through the end. With a marvelously minimal set and just a small box of props, Reyna’s fully-realized character walks us through the hard-hitting wins and loses of a pro athlete who was good enough to make a couple All-Star teams, but not on a level to be remembered in the era of Ruth and Gehrig. It’s a pleasant, conversational tone throughout, as Reyna speaks directly, yet unobtrusively, to the audience, engendering many laughs and good willed sighs of empathy for Mungo and his ways pitch after pitch.
