THE SUNSET LIMITED @ none too fragile theater

September 12-September 27, 2014


Bob Abelman

Novelist and screenwriter Cormac McCarthy’s well-crafted diatribe on the meaning of life and death is a brilliant piece of work.   Dense with thoughtful reflection, poetic in its composition, and eloquent in its articulation of diverse philosophical outlooks, “The Sunset Limited” is a pleasure to listen to but displeasing to watch.  It is, quite frankly, a lousy play.

“The Sunset Limited” is a thought-provoking script, which gets an intelligent production at none too fragile.  It is a play that will hold the attention of those interested in a philosophical delving into life, religion, and the human condition.

Kerry Clawson

Cormac McCarthy’s THE SUNSET LIMITED is a bleak, stark story that pits faith against unbelief as two men from different worlds debate in a New York tenement. .. The entire show is dialogue- rather than action-driven, with the whole discussion taking place in Black’s ghetto apartment. The result is an interesting yet ultimately depressing philosophical debate on the very existence of God.
