This is a love letter to those who create art, especially theatre.
K. Alexa Mavromatis and MJ Halberstadt have created a very funny character in Rostislav. There is such an over-the-top, near-ridiculous artistic temperament that it feels like a winking parody of a theatrical director.
But.
There's a shift in dialogue, in tone, in character that stops the action cold, that will sober an audience quickly. I love the comedy in "Right-Justified," but that moment, that shift is my favorite part of all. I hope this short play is produced again and again.
