So begins JonathanTolins' utterly charming and often whacky one-man show that opened Wednesday at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater starring a superb Michael Urie.
The screenplay, by Seth Bass and JonathanTolins, based on a novel by David Gerrold, offers heartwarming, tearjerking, stand-up-and-cheer moments that only a golem could resist, but Meyjes never conjures a world, inner or outer, so the result is just a string of effective scenes, an illustrated script rather than an experience.
