Hot Tickets: 'Sight Unseen' in Sarasota
By JOHN FLEMING
Published August 11, 2005
Sight Unseen is ostensibly about art, but like many Donald Margulies plays, it is also about Jewish identity in America. Critic Michael Feingold writes that "the real beauty about Margulies' work is that he's managed to create an ethnic theater without the tub-thumping self-consciousness that often mars ethnic-minority art."
Margulies hit it big with Dinner With Friends, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 2000, and his Collected Stories is also widely performed. He had a new play on Broadway this past season, Brooklyn Boy.
The Banyan Theater Company production of Sight Unseen, directed by Brad Mooy, features David Breitbarth as Jonathan, an artist, and Colleen McDonnell as Patricia, his former lover. It opens tonight and runs through Aug. 28 at the Glenridge Performing Arts Center, Honore Avenue and Palmer Ranch Parkway, Sarasota. $27.50. (941) 552-5325.
