PALOMINO

OVERVIEW

“GO!  The piece constantly evokes the knot of romance  and lust and commerce that are infinitely fascinating and impossible to  untangle.”

- Steven Leigh Morris, LA Weekly

 “FASCINATING…”

- Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times

“PROVOCATIVE…
  David Cale delivers all an actor can:  Charm,  intersecting planes to time and reality and post-theater impact that shed light  on our lives.”
  - Laurence Vittes, The Hollywood Reporter

“BRACINGLY ORIGINAL…CALE IS A MASTER.”
  - Les Spindle, Back Stage

Kieren McGrath dreams of writing a book. When the opportunity to become an escort to rich, lonely women in New York presents itself in the back of his horse-drawn Central Park carriage, he's found his subject. Or has he?

"David Cale... is a spellbinder. Fascinating as he is to watch, and exquisite as his verbal imagery can be, it is Cale's gifts as a storyteller that hold an audience rapt."

-  Steven Winn, The San Francisco Chronicle

More About the Show

Girl meets boy. But that’s where the  traditional love story ends. Girl pays for boy’s company. Other girls start to pay for boy’s company. Boy makes a company of his company. The girls lose money, but gain a sense of self. The boy makes money, and loses himself. In the end: bad bargain for the boy… Read  more of Kristin Friedrich’s interview with David Cale.
