One Way to Pluto! Reviewed by Drama Queens Peer Reviews

The writer gets his point across and his message vibrates in the mind of the audience in a very momentous way.  It recognizes the depth of depredation that exist in New York City.  Yet, drug addiction, prostitution, and homelessness are not just confine to this city.  The writer forces the audience to scrutinize and see at least an ounce of truth in and beyond the sphere of human existence.  The audience comes away with a satisfied or motivated spirit to aim for the stars or land on Pluto.

Sugrue’s drama is reminiscent of the works of Sam Shepard, Harold Pinter, and Samuel Beckett. The playwright, who also directs, combines quick-witted moments with original music (by the downtown band Acquiesce) to create a CBGBs-style energy, earning its label of “punk theater.” With fine craftsmanship, Sugrue and his troupe, including designers, have memorably fused words and music together.

Irish-born author Seanie Sugrue has crafted an engrossing contemporary fable.  Mr. Sugrue’s dialogue is witty and realistic and there are numerous funny one-liners.  A hilarious scene of a mugging gone awry recalls the work of Neil Simon at the height of his powers. Some of the wistful ruminations and explosive romantic exchanges between the men and women are reminiscent of John Patrick Shanley.
