Parallel
Lives
HOLLYWOOD,
CA - The evening begins with two heavenly beings organizing
creation, deciding the future of mankind with the flip of a
coin. Each subsequent scene is a snap-shot of the lives of two,
sometimes three different characters and how they relate to each
other and the world around them. |
|
“Parallel
Lives” two cast members Maggie Grant and Lisa Joffrey portray
an extensive range of characters from prostitutes and Lesbian
goddess worshipers to poor Russian dirt farmers. Most
often comic with morose moments, these fine actresses move
between scenes and characters (some with major costume changes)
with the grace and ease of dancers.

An amazingly synchronized ‘morning routine’ was
riveting considering it’s a practice we all perform on a daily
basis. Written by Mo Gaffney and Kathy Najimy “Parallel Lives”
paints a dizzying glimpse of the colorful world in which we
live, and Grant and Joffrey are remarkable artists. - R.
