Synopsis

"A crotchety old widower survives his loneliness by clinging to religious rules.  A successful young man insulates himself against his isolation by burying his emotions and focusing on his career. Their paths would have been unlikely to cross. Then the young man almost drives into the widower and is charged with reckless driving.  A community service sentence, in the form of regular visits to Mr. Green, has been imposed.  Both resent being forced together. In Visiting Mr. Green, Baron presents the perfect balance of giving the impression of weightlessness while making some profound observations.  A play that is revelatory of character with almost every word spoken, it also has an aura of familiarity - you may not have known these two men, but you have known someone, somewhere that is like some aspect of each of them. Run, don't walk, to visit Mr. Green. This show is not to be missed."
