Description
Stranded on a warped rooftop after Hurricane Katrina, a man (James McDaniel) and his teenage son (Gaius Charles) bicker and sweat as they wait for help; beside them lies a corpse in a black garbage bag. Unfortunately, this stark image is almost all there is to Beau Willimon’s watery slog of a play. It may be counted as a refreshing departure from expectations that Lower Ninth chooses not to lower the boom on institutional neglect of the poor black South. But minus such a critique, or even a simple cri de coeur, this play is like a long desert-island cartoon with no punch line.—Rob KendtWhen
