To get right to the point, Superior Donuts is terrific. This new play by Tracy Letts,who wrote the epic Pulitzer Prize winning August,Osage County two years ago, has come up with a supremly entertaining yarn about an owner of a Chicago donut shop who clings to the past and resists change. He hires a bright-eyed youngster who dreams of being a novelest, and they form an unexpected friendship that is lasting and life changing.
Mr. Letts is a playwright who has theatre in his blood. His scenes are meaty and gripping and his characters spring to life onstage.
The play is well directed by Tina Ladau,and the cast,headed by Michael McKean and Jon Michael Hill is perfection.
Superior Donuts is a fine play and Tracy Letts is a major playwrght. Highly reccomended.
At THE MUSIC BOX THEATRE 239 WEST 45th STREET N.Y.C.
