World Premiere Lightning Horse Productions presents: Danny Boy @ The Other Space – Review

Photographer: Jeff Lorch.

This is the story of a man deep in the throes of spiritual struggle , crushed by addiction and sorrow. It’s a modern Pagliacci set in the turmoil of addiction, depicting a man trapped within the confines of self, reminiscent of “Waiting for Godot.”

The story unfolds in Danny’s messy, bygone-era apartment, where the disarray mirrors his internal grief and chaos. Various characters enter his “cell” as shepherds of both new paths to freedom as well as self imposing oppression. They offer notions of love and freedom alongside temptation and further imprisonment . The action of the play centers on Danny’s struggle to emerge from the gnosis of his pain and experience the freedom of a new life.

Eventually, a woman named Christine enters his life, becoming his confidante and guiding him to break through with her to a happiness he had only dreamt of . This play depicts a soul’s journey through darkness, into light, and ultimately beyond. Source
