7/20/14 review of cinema screening of Lincoln Center's The Nance


Here is my Twitter thread review of a 2014 cinema screening of the Lincoln Center's performance of The Nance, a play by Douglas Carter Beane and starring Nathan Lane.

My Twitter thread review discusses the story's May-November relationship, the relationship dynamics, and some of the characters' personalities, and the idealism of the characters. I also discuss the structure of the play -- namely the shifts from real-life to burlesque performance, and the way the second half of the play gets darker and more stylized.

Here is Lincoln Center's trailer for the cinema screenings of The Nance.


I saw this play at the Landmark Theatres Chez Artiste Theatre in Denver, Colorado.
