| Synopsis: | Set in the mind of its protagonist Garrett, Glaciers is a stream-of-consciousness chamber musical in the style of Michael John LaChuisa's Little Fish and William Finn's A New Brain. What we understand about Garrett right away is that he's terribly troubled, presumably because he's waiting to hear from his doctor about what we're pretty sure is an AIDS test. (Back story, or more accurately the lack thereof, is Glaciers' main weakness: I had to read the press release to understand that Garrett has spent a hedonistic decade indulging in sex and drugs following the loss of his lover.). Concurrent with Garrett's story is a parallel tale of young man named Simon who has willed himself into paralysis following the death of his parents in a car accident; Simon blames himself for their death because they were on their way to pick him up from school. Simon now lives with his grandmother, called Memaw, a wise and loving woman who is urging him toward life. nytheatre.com | |||||
