Dennis Lehane's written a play, CORONADO, now in a limited (and I believe sold out) run at Manhattan Theatre Source. Saw it last night. Really, really good. It's based on a short story of his own, and the translation to the theater is beautifully made. Complicated structure: three conversations going on in turn on stage, as it slowly downs on the audience that they're parts of same story at different points in time. The writing is crisp, real and revelatory, and vintage Lehane: people who get, paradoxically, trapped by actions taken because of their yearning to break out of what they see as small lives. And the acting is terrific. Every one of the nine actors -- one of them is Dennis Lehane's brother Gerry -- is note-perfect. When no actor comes across as weak in a show I always credit the director. In this case that's David Epstein, a playwright, director, actor, and member of the Invisible City Theatre Company, the group responsible for this show. Congratulations all around.
