Opinionist: Sixty Miles to Silver Lake - Gothamist: New York City News, Food, Arts & Events

Opinionist: Sixty Miles to Silver Lake - Gothamist: New York City News, Food, Arts & Events:

"Anybody who grew up shuttling back and forth between divorced parents will be all too familiar with the stifling setting of Sixty Miles to Silver Lake: the interior of a car, inhabited only by a single dad and his soccer-playing son, who have no choice but to interact with each other on the long slog between the boy's mother's house and the father's depressing apartment. If that sounds like your idea of a fun road trip, then you'll love Dan LeFranc's play, which takes place entirely within the confines of a Volvo stationwagon, driven by a miserable father named Ky, with his petulant son Denny riding shotgun."

So...

this is what I have to look forward to...

  1. No, because of three things:

    1-You hate driving a car
    2-You don't live 60 miles from your ex.
    3-Note how the actor plays the Dad:

    "Joseph Adams makes the mistake of playing Ky as written (i.e., a major d***), instead of creating contrast by introducing some admirable qualities."

    You are not a major d***, especially to your kid.

  2. Ky is still a bitter, vulgar loser when the wheels stop spinning

    So close while being so far apart.
