Joe Turner’s Come and Gone review – August Wilson play makes uneven return to Broadway
6 / 10
Allen’s staging doesn’t match the fine work she’s drawn from her actors, who are mostly confined to the kitchen table far stage left. This leaves the rest of the house – a cozy living room and a stairway that seems to climb toward heaven – frustratingly unexplored. (The set design, by longtime Wilson collaborator David Gallo, does handsomely capture the play’s twilight zone; its well-appointed rooms against a black backdrop that reveals a terrifying and exciting industrial world.)
