Tribute
For all of his 51 years, Scotty Templeton has been allergic to reality. Can't take anything seriously. Now diagnosed with leukemia it's time to grow up and face his denials, with his estranged son most of all. And make no mistake, father and son will grow together in Bernard Slade's comedy-drama. He even strains credibility to make it happen. Scripps Ranch Theatre and director Francis Gercke do a decent job with the material, though it feels dated, and its talky text and cheap appeals poke through. As Scotty, Robert May's best moments come when he isn't supposed to be glib. Two standouts in the supporting cast: Fred Harlow does a masterful job as Lou Daniels, MC at the tribute and drunk as a skunk; and where has Morgan Carberry been? Her Hilary, a streetwalker with a well-oiled accent and precise movements, is hilarious. Worth a try.
