It can be said that Corwin has at least tried to create some interesting characters
It's not nearly enough to save "Gone Home," which, like most half-formed memories, is soon forgotten There's Del (Rob Campbell), Jack's father, an academic who has recently decided to explore his free-spirited side; his mother, Anne (Kellie Overbey), a controlling sort whose life is a mix of gossip and weekly luncheons; and his older sister, Suzie (Callie Thorne), who has a new job at Denny's and some serious emotional baggage But these ideas are only half-formed and nothing meaningful ever gets articulated in this hazy, ponderous jumble, which opened Tuesday at Manhattan Theatre Club Off-Broadway's 'Gone Home' Is Half-Formed
Dec 18, 11:00 AM EST
"You can't go home again" goes the refrain, but who would even want to try in the tedious world created by John Corwin in his new off-Broadway play, "Gone Home
For starters, there's Jack (Josh Hamilton), a twentysomething guy who left his family in Chicago for a writer's life in New York
Ah, but what do we know of these people, truly? And is Jack really back home at all?
Who cares? A surprising plot twist partly clears up some of the questions but can't overcome clunky dialogue and efforts at character development that ultimately are amateurish "
A young Chicago playwright, Corwin seems to have some points to make about family relationships and the difficulty in reclaiming one's past
He's found some success and a lovely wife, Kate (Chelsea Altman), but is at an artistic standstill
All of this we learn through Jack's dealings with his folks and sister back home
The highlight is the grounded acting of Hamilton (recently, of Broadway's "Proof"), who manages to convey the bewilderment Jack goes through as he seizes on memories that don't make sense
