Leonard Melfi's ENCOUNTERS offers glimpses of Off Off Broadway dullness
Leonard Melfi's ENCOUNTERS collects six one act plays produced around New York. The critic notes strong character creation and dialogue but laments a single mood iron y and a shock gimmick pattern. Times Square is the lone divergent piece.
