BWW Review: Cliche' BREAKING LEGS at Ocean State Theatre Company
At its core, BREAKING LEGS is the story of a well-meaning guy who gets an offer he can't refuse, and then quickly realizes he's in way over his head. It's a classic storyline that can be re-worked countless ways and still resonate with an audience. Unfortunately, in order to reach the logical conclusion of this piece, playwright Tom Dulack trots out every Italian-American stereotype in the book, as well as a few racist and gay jokes leaving the viewer shocked that a play so well-acted and directed can come off so boring and underwhelming. Many things work well in this production, but when the play itself seems incredibly dated and cliche, it never comes together and the whole endeavor just feels off.
BREAKING LEGS Opens 1/27 at Ocean State Theatre
Ocean State Theatre Company (OSTC), currently celebrating its fourth season in its state-of-the-art theatre in Warwick is proud to present Tom Dulack's hilarious comedy, Breaking Legs from January 27 - February 14.
