The Man with Many Faces
Most people play many roles in life, but Samuel Sheng takes this human condition to extremes. He never ceases to surprise, particularly in his current appearance in Café Depresso.
A self-labeled “dark comedy,” the play by Tom Vegh is in its third production, opening with a new adaptation for San Francisco at Exit Theater with an entirely local cast. Based on the true-life murder of Lance Penny, the play takes an oblique route, which is driven by its characters. The audience experiences the story through the eyes of a therapist and his therapy group, as they try to cope with the disappearance of two members.
The five supporting character roles that Sheng plays bring immediacy to the central drama.
