...THE WONDERFUL TOWER is a funny, poignant, and engrossing story centering around Humbert Lavoignet, an unemployed mailman who has fallen into a six-month trance.
When Humbert awakes, he announces that God has ordered him to do something wonderful. Humbert's inspiration is to build a tower of junk...
Humbert is willing to sacrifice everything for the tower: his home, his marriage, and the love of his son...
Lynne Alvarez's story is novel and coherent...
The characters are realistic, and speak with the simple poetry of ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances...
While it is too early, and perhaps unimportant, to predict what place THE WONDERFUL TOWER OF HUMBERT LAVOIGNET will hold in theatrical history, it is fair to call it one of the best and most significant plays to open [this year]...
