...shrugged,” read Lam, drawing laughter from the audience. The theme of angst also pervaded Lan Tran’s reading, a performed monologue of runaway-cum-pickpocket Violet from Tran’s solo show “Elevator/Sex,” which premiered off-Broadway last May and foregrounds the similarities between the experiences of 9/11 survivors and victims of sexual abuse. After taking a moment to put herself in character, the sunny Tran emerged as the tough-talking Violet. Having described how she swiped a woman’s wallet in the express elevator just...

It's Max Bialystock, the crooked Broadway impresario in The Producers, after getting caught ripping off old ladies with Springtime for Hitler, trying the same con behind bars with Prisoners of Love. More to the point, it's Reagan as described in Stockman's own book: sunny and optimistic and never allowing himself to be confused by the facts...
