| James Lecesne |
Rarely
do you hear cries of “Bravo” ring throughout the theater at the end of a
performance. Such accolades were cheered for several minutes after James Lecesne
finished performing his one-man show at Philadelphia Theatre’s Company’s
Suzanne Roberts Theatre, Broad and Lombard Streets. There are only a few more
days left to see The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelksey which is scheduled
to run through June 4, 2017. If you hadn’t planned on catching this production,
perhaps, you should change your plans to include seeing it. James Lecesne not
only wrote The Absolute Brightness… but
also brilliantly depicts the nearly dozen characters in this piece, from a
teenaged girl to her beauty-shop mom to the police detective trying to solve
the mystery of what happened to Leonard Pelkey.
At once humorous, inciteful, and sometimes sad, the interviews conducted
by the detective Lecesne portrays are unbelievably realistic as he does a quick
turn and becomes another persona with a different voice, facial expression and
mannerism. His performance is mesmerizing. Tickets can be purchased by calling
215-985-0420 or visiting www.philatheatreco.org.
