There's immediacy and intimacy in this that is rare in solo shows. You feel it with every page, ever revelation. A play that reminds you of the power of the solo performance in theatre. From the first image, you will be hooked.

Few words can adequately express what watching Franky perform the solo version of this show was like. While I haven't seen this retooled version, the new draft reads nimbly, with devastating results; not unlike the howling twister that threatens everything he holds dear.

When the storm passes, all that's left is the man in the mirror, and there's got to be some way to make peace with that hard-headed son-of-a-bitch.

"I Love You, Franky."

I was so lucky to see Franky Gonzalez perform his latest solo piece at The Workshop Theater. Franky has written another gut-wrenching and beautiful autobiographical piece that is so incredibly vulnerable, honest, and raw...like human flesh. In this piece, Franky shares openly his struggles with food and self-worth. The disparity between the wonderful Franky the audience sees and the Franky he sees in the mirror couldn't be more extreme and makes you root for him even harder. The ending had the entire audience in tears. Thank you, Franky, for sharing your space with us.
