First, get on Wikipedia and read up on left-hander Rube Waddell. He pitched like a demon from about 1900 to 1910. This heartbreaking play puts Waddell in a Texas hotel, on the eve of what he believes will be a comeback. He has asked the Reptile Girl from a local circus to come visit him. These two bereft souls express an epic, if tragically doomed, hope for better things. James B. Kennedy and Ariana Venturi are outstanding, with a palpable chemistry. Jonathan Goldberg's script is a small jewel. I would see it again and again. More show information.
