Stephen Radosh of Gay Dezart Guide writes, “Due to the way the statue [of David] was carved, the pressure that was put onto that spot [a crack in the ankle] pretty much guaranteed that at some point, this incredible work of art would simply crumble to dust. Between the many hands of tourists touching the statue, earthquakes, centuries of exposure to the elements, etc., this dire fate is almost guaranteed. So, what, if anything, can be done? Or, was it the artist’s intention all along? Are all things we love destined to die?
“These are just some of the questions raised in this amazing tour-de-force [actress Aleisha Force], all puns intended. Ms. Force delivers a remarkable performance. She is funny and engaging, quickly winning over the audience during the first few minutes of the play as she gets individuals to help her out on stage.
Suffice it to say, that if you enjoy thought-provoking, intelligently written, wonderfully directed and amazingly acted theatre, do not allow yourself to miss “Destroying David.”
