All too often life's secrets are revealed when it's too late to do
anything about it, as shown in Albi Gorn's wistful and touching Hello, I Must Be Going,
part of the 2010 New York International Fringe Festival (FringeNYC). Directed by Alan Fox, the show will be presented by M&M
Productions Acting Company, Inc. and begin performances on Sunday, August 14th. Hello,
I Must Be Going will be performed at Tom Noonan's Paradise Factory, located at 64 East 4th Street Harvey is a middle-aged
man who never took the time to get to know his father, Maury, until he's about to become a dad himself for the first time
-- with twins, no less. Then Maury has a devastating stroke and Harvey finds he can't communicate with his father at a time
he needs him the most. As Harvey struggles with newfound parenthood, Maury's persona observes it all, thinking about fishing
and willing his body to give up and let him die. Meanwhile, the spirits of Harvey's (initially) womb-locked children question
if they really want to be born at all. Yet why does his infant son and newly-incapacitated dad keep smiling so inscrutably?
It's as if they know something Harvey doesn't. Hello,
I Must Be Going is a story about the importance of taking time to live and getting to know the people you love,
before it's all taken away . At times you won't know whether to laugh or cry, but in between the joy and pain one thing is
certain: when all is said and done, regret is the most devastating thing of all.
