Neal Adelmans new play “I, Custer”in New Mexico!

Recent OU Alum Neal Adelman has a new play at Las Cruces Community Theater in New Mexico.  “I, Custer” is a one woman play that deconstructs and wakes up Custers last stand.  The Las Cruces Sun News writes, “Tony Award-winning playwright and Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Mark Medoff, who selects and directs a student play each year at Las Cruces Community Theatre, chose Adelman’s work for the 2016 Mark Medoff Directorial Project Award.”

The review goes on to compliment the production, “Neal Adelman’s lyrical, poetic, “I, Custer” script brings to mind Greek odysseys and the evocative rhythms of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s “Song of Hiawatha.” And that’s quite a feat considering the play’s thoroughly modern, gender-bending millennial perspectives, and the often scatological, racist and sexist commentary from its controversial protagonist.  Check out the full review here

Congrats Neal on your awesome new play!
