Review Summary for The Dream of the Burning Boy
Reed Birney is quickly becoming New York’s foremost actor in a particular subspecialty, communicating the grief of average men facing extraordinary loss. Mr. Birney’s performance in “The Dream of the Burning Boy,” an eloquent, affecting new play by the newcomer David West Read, is the third he’s given this season Off Broadway, a feat in itself deserving of some sort of badge of honor, given the size of the paychecks. -- Charles Isherwood
