THE STORY: In CHARLIE AND VITO, two brothers meet in the younger one’s room the night before the older brother’s wedding. They have been estranged and their conversation dwells mostly on their dead brother Eddie, who in life had been the bridge between them. Their talk, seemingly casual at first, turns more serious, and then violent—until the air is cleared and the basis for future intimacy established.
“…An ability to write pungent, idiomatic, urban speech, and a willingness to let human passions overflow on the stage.” —The New York Times.
