A PICTURE OF TWO BOYS by
21 Feb. 2020
“
A delicate and compelling portrait of two young men at significant coming-of-age moments in their lives. Malakhow has such a natural and intuitive feel for the way young men interact with each other verbally and physically and does an excellent job at representing their tentative steps at understanding their place in the world with the complications borne of socioeconomic status and ethnic identity. Their sexual feelings are handled sensitively and honestly. The revelations in the play are surprising but completely organic and well prepared for. Malakhow’s writing continues to impress me. ”
