As she watched UNDERNEATH THE LINTEL, Glen Berger's play about the stubborn 
and sometimes desperate attempt of human beings to leave something of their 
mark in the world, she couldn't help but think that she knew at least two people 
who lost people in the World Trade Center catastrophe.  Memorial services had 
been held, but there were no bodies to bury - only the memories of their loved 
ones and whatever inconsequential stuff they'd left behind were proof that 
the people had existed at all.  This is also true of the mystery library patron 
who haunts the life of Berger's nameless Dutch librarian.  
                                                By Arlene McKanic from her 
Greenwich Village Gazette Review

UNDERNEATH THE LINTELis an absurd mystery story about understanding life and 
the human desire to say,"I was here."  A Dutch librarian, whose life is 
radically changed when he discovers a 19th century travel guidebook that is 123 
years overdue, seeks the individual responsible, which leads to an extraordinary 
journey - via a one-man show disguised as a lecture - toward spiritual renewal. 
 Directed by Fred Sternfeld and featuring Joe Gunderman, the play is 
concluding its Cesear's Forum Cleveland run.  

Despite our universal and inescapable fate, we are narrative beings, who make 
our realities out of the stories we tell about ourselves, each other and our 
world.  The Librarian's story is artful, heartfelt rubbish.  But at least, for 
him, it makes some questing sense.
                                                    By Stephen Dunne from his 
Sydney Morning Herald Review       

UNDERNEATH THE LINTEL final performances are presented at Kennedy's Down 
Under, Playhouse Square Center, Cleveland, Friday May 7th and Saturday, May 8th.  
All seats $15.  Call (216) 241-6000.   Be aware that Interstate 77 will be 
closed this weekend between Interstate 271 and Interstate 480.  Travel time to 
Cleveland should be inclusive of alternative routes.
