"Donnie Darko" at the American Rep Theatre in Cambridge Wednesday night.
Just to report back: nice production, clever sets, very faithful to the film. The young actor's portrayal of Donnie was very different from Jake's: more self-assured, less troubled.
Just before curtain, there were two empty seats in front of me. I told my friends that meant Jake was arriving soon. They said they'd have to call the EMTs to resuscitate me. I replied that, no, the EMTs would have to resuscitate his date. LOL.
No, Jake didn't show up. But,
Chris Cooper did! I realized he was in "Jarhead", so that makes one degree of separation...
