It’s several hours since I saw Identity and my jaw is still on the ground. It was touching, moving, occasionally confusing, always intriguing and often amazing. With passion, pathos, and wit, Linnehan dexterously moved us in and out of the fourth wall. We were transported with him on his personal journey to answer the question, “Am I happy?” We travel through time and space relieved when he discovers that although he is a bunch of contradictions (a brilliantly/disabled, gay, ardent Catholic) he no longer has to apologize to anyone. And yes, he is happy with his complicated but delightful identity. The actors playing the father, mother and doctor added richness to the complexity of the story with their fabulous acting, complimenting the author’s fast-paced and poignant dialogue. Prepare to be impressed. Different is delicious and delightful entertainment.
