The Unexpected Man at APT
Posted June 19, 2017
By Dave Begel, Milwaukee Theater Reviews & News
If ever there was prima facie evidence that putting great actors together with a great director can lift even the thinnest of scripts to heaven, this is it.
“The Unexpected Man”, a brief scramble down a path toward conversation, friendship or even love, opened he season for American Players Theatre and with Laura Gordon at the helm and Brian Mani and Sarah Day manning the oars, becomes a surprising triumph.
Surprising because this 75 minute petit effort tackles no mind-numbing issues of importance, but it instead offers a mystery of such enthrall that sadness sweeps once the whole thing comes to a chuckling end.
