THE BEST MAN (2007) – Theater Review Clips
“Playwright Weiko Lin’s promising study of a hotel suite Walpurgis Night on the eve of one brother’s wedding to the other’s ex-wife benefits from its capable players…first-time director Kevin Lau shows considerable talent at placement and pace…the actors have noteworthy aptitude and verve.” – LA TIMES
“Lin, as Danny, does drunken anguish wonderfully. His pain and emptiness are barely below the surface and seep through gradually…And Shim had the needy eighteen year-old runaway turned stripper/prostitute to a tee: the false gaiety, the indiscriminate reaching for love and acceptance, and the over-the-top sexuality.” – CULTURE VULTURE
“The play is skillfully written. Lin masters the portrayal of the intimate relationship scene…Lin’s performance as Danny is quite convincing. Danny’s dynamic persona allows Lin to delve deep into the unstable mind of the character and really portray the insecurities of men tormented by love and ominous secrets.” – DAILY BRUIN
” The acting is uniformly excellent, the set is first class and the sharp dialogue pulls us along…The Best Man illuminates the painful fragility of contemporary intimacy and love.” -THE TICKET STUB
