A proposal that took place at a funeral, an
upcoming wedding, and three goats hardly need any more surprises but that’s what
happens in Melisa Annis’ CHARLIE’S WAITING. Louise (Tony Award
nominee Xanthe Elbrick) is pregnant and planning her
exquisitely-detailed wedding with Kelly (Stephanie Heitman).
The unexpected entrance of a visitor (Amy Scanlon) suddenly
takes precedence over the decorating of paper lanterns and construction of
centerpieces.
CHARLIE’S WAITING asks just how
blind love can be. It may be able to overlook class differences and unshared
secrets but what about trust that is destroyed? Superb acting, fast-paced
dialogue, and tight direction (Ludovica Villar-Hauser) will
keep you riveted to discover how it all will end.
