Studio 54, and the famed mirrored walls that line its entryway, have never been so dark, so quiet, so enveloped by the silent pensiveness and isolation ofFinally Rapp, the “Red Light Winter” Pulitzer Prize finalist, novelist and screenwriter, whose thirty-odd plays have been celebrated in small theaters and acting classrooms for twenty years, has made his Broadway debut. And what he’s brought to its stage, is a play as unlikely as it is deeply soul-stirring.
“I couldn’t have expected it in a million years,” he continued, “because it’s a very dark, language-driven play about writers, and that’s not necessarily a commercial property. I thought I’d be one of those ‘Oh, he did a lot of off-Broadway work’ writers, but I managed to pull it off thanks toin a tour-de-force return to Broadway and an evergreen, is possessed by the loneliness of its two characters.
As they weave a small world between them, each engaged in their own writing and consumed by that task, it becomes hauntingly and eerily unclear who is living outside of each other’s prose.“My mother died when she was 55 of the same cancer that Bella describes her mother dying of, and I’m 51, and I started to think about where I was in my life and what if I became ill,” Adam Rapp continued as he reflected on the play’s beginnings.
But, sometimes, good, deserving theater — theater that stuns its audience into reflection from powerful writing, not pyrotechnics — does make it to Broadway.“There’s just alchemy sometimes, you can’t really guess,” Parker said of the experience, after her bow. “There’s just a collision of different energies, and in a moment people hear something.
“It’s just the two of us,” summed Hochman, taking in the breath of his Broadway debut, his youth as much in contrast to the storied walls of the Studio 54 theatre as his character is to the dying professor before him. “There’s no big music. There’s no explosions. It’s just two people in the darkness talking to each other.”
