My overall impression
Childhood traumas fragment the personality of Jimmy in the solo show LOVE, MADNESS & SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN written & performed by James Cox directed by Trace Oakley. Some things are too broke to fix. Some wounds don’t heal. A flashlight will light up just enough of the darkness. Youth gives away to adulthood. The human shards age independently. As a barista racing to get through our morning duties Madness clamors for caffeine before opening. We laugh with the fragment become a successful stand-up comic. At the bottom of the toilet we look up at the face of the broken piece begging the liquor bottle to let go its hold. A child will keep secrets. Forgiveness is necessary. The priest on his death bed is so grateful for the visit. Can a dying man have one last shot at his favorite altar boy? Can I fuck you from the grave? The Church says God is love. LOVE, MADNESS & SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN is a non-linear play for mature audiences. Bravo. Lighting and tech by Steven Pope.
