Steve’s life is spinning out of control. His work is going nowhere, his lover dumps him, his friendships are strained and, as if that’s not enough, the ghost of General Idi Amin, the Ugandan dictator, bursts through his window with a very strange demand. . .
Variety says:
Nobody in New York writes dialogue quite like Grimm ( … ) Grimm effervesces so violently that he achieves liftoff!
TheaterMania says:
Grimm proves to be a strong interpreter of his own work!
CurtainUp says:
The ensemble manages to balance the farcical and existential elements of the show, making it thought-provoking as well as amusing ( … ) immensely entertaining ( … ) Grimm demonstrates that he is both a versatile and droll writer.
TimeOut NY says:
Rattlestick furnishes a handsome production (...) ensuring that we hear every word of Grimm’s opus.
Backstage says:
Grimm offers through his performance an intriguing microcosm of the entire work: a tendency toward chaos intermittently controlled by lacerating wit and calculated distance.
STEVE AND IDI was developed at the Sundance Theatre Lab and appeared in Rattlestick’s DirtyWorks reading series in the spring of 2007. Mr. Grimm has also penned Measure for Pleasure, Kit Marlowe, The Learned Ladies of Park Avenue, Sheridan or Schooled in Scandal, The Savages of Hartford, Once In Elysium and Chick, The Great Osram among others.
