“You have to dig deep to bury your father.” Gypsy Proverb
“Almost Made” is a wonderfully written show. Full of intricately worked anecdotes, stories within stories and a slow build to a powerful emotional conclusion. It flows beautifully, like “Goodfellas,” with incredible characters and no agenda or judgment and yet there is at its center, the breaking of a boy’s heart. It’s also very, very funny, with gorgeously wrought twists and turns, all play out with panache and poignancy by the writer and wonderful actor Louie Liberti. But what really got to me was the sadness of it. And it is brilliant. Louie is a genius storyteller. He lures you in with his sweet bad’ish boy demeanor and then he takes you by surprise with the intensity of his boyish revelations. By Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros Nohoartsdistrict.com
