Long Story Short by Colin Quinn (Oct 2010)

by Colin Quinn - Helen Hayes Theatre

  That solo show, was a work in progress directed by some unknown new director named Jerry Seinfeld. The buddies have slicked up the finished product for Broadway with a more ambitious cosmic curve of a set by the ever-imaginative David Gallo, with projections of ancient maps grounded with rocky golden temple steps.Also, Quinn - best known as a genially brutal "Weekend Update" anchor on "Saturday Night Live" and as the star of his memorably nostalgic solo, "An Irish Wake," at this same theater in 1998 - has combed his hair and put on a sport jacket. But the jacket looks a little small for him, a fit that maintains his useful shlumpy Brooklyn-born façade - as if he's not quite comfortable in the role of social critic and brainiac lecturer with a historical context and a Broadway podium.The subject is the fall of empires, from antiquity until a place awfully close to ours. He flips easily back to pop-culture signposts - from Antigone to Snooki, from Caesar to the mob, from Plato's cave theory to the world economic forums in Davos, Switzerland. He is stunning about the cultural significance of similar words, but I won't spoil the surprise by telling. News Day 11/09/2010.
