Walter Cronkite Is Dead.
79 Horton Plaza, San Diego
Joe Calarco's two-hander gives red state/blue state stereotypes a much-needed, often funny jostling. On the surface, reserved Margaret (from "blue" D.C.) and gregarious Patty (from "red" Tennessee) look like opposites. But while stranded at an airport, they find common ground. The play's slow to percolate, but the San Diego Rep. performances are tops. Melinda Gilb makes Patty a verbal avalanche. Ellen Crawford's Margaret dives downward and inward. Both have unexpected revelations. Crawford speaks the play's title: about a loss of standards and mutual respect since the CBS anchorman died.
Worth a try.
