It takes place the morning after, in a ransacked real estate office. The seven actors on stage get to perform the ensemble roles of a lifetime and each actor is superb. Tony Amendola is spectacularly pathetic as Shelly Levine. His transformation from a whiner to a boisterous person is amazing to watch. Rod Gnapp plays his superior who won t cut Shelly a break.
Rod is one of our better young actors here in the Bay Area.
In this play, he looks and acts like a young Richard Widmark. He is masterly as the cold-hearted, ruthless office manager. John Apicella, as Moss, is lively as the low-life who dreams up the idea of an office heist. James Carpenter does some of his best work to date as the intimidated customer, Lingk. He does wonders with the role in the second act as he is pushed to the limit by wonderkid Roma.
