BWW Reviews: POOR LITTLE LULU, Theatre of The Absurd at Cleveland Public Theatre
by Roy Berko - March 14, 2012
POOR LITTLE LULU, Matthew Earnest's play, which is getting its world premiere at Cleveland Public Theatre where it is being produced in association with The Lunar Stratagem, is a classic Theatre of the Absurd creation.
