Salt of the Earth

Theatre Anywhere—RRC

This one-man narrative spun the audience a very depressing but heartwarming story of the immigrant experience.

I was a little confused at first (it took me a while to figure out that the scenes in blue were the character’s nightmares); but once I settled into the narrative I did begin to really feel for the main character.

That being said, the show was an hour and it felt like it. The story is very dense and there is a lot to keep straight. I had a tough time following along for the first half. Thankfully the actor seemed to slow his pace down in the second half and I was able to catch up. This is not a happy tale but it is worth hearing once.
