It shows just how much momentum the ongoing revival of once-forgotten Off-Broadway legend María Irene Fornés has amassed that this is the third revival within a year of the musical she created in the mid-'60s with still-forgotten Off-Broadway legend Al Carmines. It would be idle to deny that this piece has aged; but it would be silly to deny yourself a chance to experience it, if only to see what people were thinking in a certain precinct of New York at a highly culturally significant moment. This free concert performance sold out quickly; check the Mabou Mines website for last-minute availability.
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Go to Hearth and have the beef variety burger (not for the faint of heart) (see what I did?).
