The Last Night of Ballyhoo / Alfred Uhry
Английски език.
"To
all appearances, The Last Night of Ballyhoo declares itself to be
nothing more than an old-fashioned, family-centered, living-room comedy.
The time is 1939, when the most important thing in young Lala Levy’s
life is the Atlanta premiere of Gone With the Wind. More urgent to her
widowed mother, Boo, is the question of who will be Lala’s date for the
last night of Ballyhoo, the formal dance that crowns the party season
for Atlanta’s Jewish Society....

"A darker tone emerges, though.
Without ever departing from its basic structure as a rich, often
hilarious romantic comedy, Ballyhoo exposes the previously unexplored
territory of Southern anti-Semitism and how Jews turn it against each
other and themselves....

"Part of the triumph of The Last Night
of Ballyhoo is that Uhry allows ethical dilemmas and class tensions to
arise without turning his characters into stick figures or the drama
into a predetermined ‘issue’ play. Also remarkable is Uhry’s gift for
creating a stage full of characters so rich they all seem like leading
roles."

"Achingly beautiful....However
conventional this essentially one-set Southern family drama may look on
the surface, the play is in fact surprising, luminous and powerful. It
will most likely find a place in the American canon alongside Uhry’s
Brifing Miss Daisy" —Laurie Winer, losingeles limes
