(Allen)Bransteins range is wide, from being giddy at the receipt of a Christmas card to being awash in sadness, holding an imaginary woman and pouting, This space to let. He capably shows us Harrys brief manic periods, his many depressed periods, and his confident inner voice, switching emotions quickly and maintaining each distinct voice.<BR>
<BR>
Director Brian Zoldessy has mined the script for Harrys many changes of dynamic and voice while maintaining a core personality for Harry that is unmistakably one depressed man. Set Designers Marcus Dana and Connie Hecker have created a set that surrounds poor Harry with dozens of happy Christmas cards and good wishes, presumably from years past, while Harrys reality reflects his living room containing a sad little Christmas tree, minimal furniture and a phone, a TV and radio, but mostly four pill bottles and five bottles of alcohol scattered around.<BR>
<BR>
In Zoldessy and Bransteins capable hands, the desperately sad man in Harrys Christmas is real and we feel his pain acutely.<BR>
