Flavorpill.com - Late Fragment Review

10/11/2005

A debris-covered World Trade Center survivor comes home to a wife who believes the attack was possibly a god-sent event, as the couple will now be able to survive financially with the impending insurance money. Selfishness abounds in Francine Volpe's play Late Fragment, with a news story-hungry TV crew and a manipulative lawyer (brilliantly nailed by Michael Mosley) joining the impatient wife in greedily circling the grieving hero, who slowly descends into hypochondria-induced madness. Michael Imperioli and Zetna Fuentes' direction is well-intentioned, if choppy, but the play's somber theme is fully conveyed: is being a survivor enough to get you through life? (SP)
