Review:
on CLEAN: The forms of love that dare not speak their names are pretty scarce in this age of the tabloid talk shows. But that hasn't stopped Edwin Sanchez, a new playwright of tremendous emotional conviction.... How do you feel, for example, about a thirty year-old Roman Catholic priest in love with a ten year-old boy? The relationship which, it should probably be noted right away, is never consummated is at the center of CLEAN.... Mr Sanchez is a wide-eyed, unregenerate romantic who uses what he describes as `impossible' relationships to consider and celebrate the arbitrariness of love. In a sense, the play is like a contemporary MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM in which the passion-drunk characters, rather than being sorted into socially acceptable pairs, learn to live in a world ruled by a blind Cupid. It is a theme Mr Sanchez explored in TRAFFICKING IN BROKEN HEARTS, an unsettling drama about a doomed gay triangle.... He is, in other words, a playwright to watch closely. --Ben Brantley, The New York Times
Playwright Edwin Sanchez makes a promising New York debut with TRAFFICKING IN BROKEN HEARTS, a grim, streetwise and bracingly compassionate work. ...he convinces with the honesty of his writing and a canny, thoughtful grasp of his trio of characters. The playwright does an especially effective job in penning the gray shades of his characters. --Greg Evans, Variety
