“Greater Clements” Is A Devastatingly Great Play

KenderTheater (‪@KenderTheater‬)

Samuel D Hunter's “Greater Clements”  ‪@LCTheater‬ is a devastatingly great play that movingly explores the imperfect but beautiful humanity of characters rarely depicted on stage. Judith Ivey and Edmund Donavan are astoundingly good in their lead roles and are well supported by the balance of the fine cast.  For me, the three hour running time flew by, as I felt personally invested in these lovingly depicted residents of a small Idaho mining town that is as down on its luck as its residents.  Mr. Hunter is among my favorite contemporary playwrights, and he once again delivers another powerful, emotionally searing work with this excellent play.
