Berko review: Oliver Parker! @ convergence continuum
by Roy Berko 24 Aug '21

24 Aug '21

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule Judgment: One critic stated of OLIVER PARKER!, “Elizabeth Meriwether’s comedy combines the crass vulgarity that passes for wit in teen-aimed Hollywood movies with a well-worn stage cliché, the dark story of family dysfunction.” I would add, “it gets a better production at Con-con than the script deserves.”* *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info/>*. ** To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com/>* *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
