Richard Nelson, a 1972 Hamilton graduate, is receiving good reviews for Madame Melville, a memory play starring Macaulay Culkin that opened on Broadway on May 3.
Ben Brantley of The New York Times calls Madame Melville, "short, sweet and extravagantly sentimental," and says, "as playwright and director Mr. Nelson revels in and shrewdly manipulates the conventions of the memory play in ways that are hard to resist."
Madame Melville is at the Promenade Theater.
