Red-Haired Thomas
Posted by Mark on Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 3:28 PM
Hard to mistake the central themes in Soho Think Tank's Red-Haired Thomas
— a charming if confused production at the Ohio Theatre directed by
Oliver Butler — when its central couple is a gambler and a risk
management expert, and its narrator, chorus and
director-within-the-work is Thomas Jefferson. Collisions between
America's twin ideological pillars, democracy and capitalism, resonate
from the principle roles to the narrative-fueling MacGuffin: a $20 bill
with Jefferson's hair colored in red.
