Red Hook Black crawls forward by means of stilted conversations and vacuous exchanges.

Dec 7, 2011

Reprinting its entire script would be the only way to properly convey the unintentionally hilarious awfulness of Red Hook Black, which complements its stilted and goofy writing with equally inept performances.
