  • The Whipping Man
    THE WHIPPING MAN PRESS HIGHLIGHTS REVIEWS ‘Whipping Man’ exposes raw nerve of surrender By James Hebert, UNION-TRIBUNE THEATER CRITIC Saturday, May 15, 2010 at 12:04 a.m. / Craig Schwartz As wounded Confederate soldier Caleb, whose leg is amputated in the first scene, Mark J. Sullivan performs much of his role lying prone in “The Whipping Man” at The Old Globe. DETAILS “The Whipping Man” Old Globe Theatre When: Tuesdays-Wednesdays, 7 p.m.; Thursdays-Fridays, 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 2 and 8 p.m.; Sundays, 2 and 7 p.m., through June 13. Where: Old Globe’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, Balboa Park Tickets: $29-$62 Phone: (619) 234-5623 Online: TheOldGlobe.org Moses freed the Israelites in Egypt. Lincoln liberated the Southern slaves. It might take a heavenly host of prophets and presidents to emancipate the hearts of those in “The Whipping Man.” Matthew Lopez’s affecting, suspenseful and at times searing play strips the skin off such lofty ideas as freedom and honor to peer at the raw nerves underneath, and lay bare the cost paid for such lofty notions. As directed with a spare intensity by Giovanna Sardelli for the Old Globe Theatre (in a West Coast premiere), the work’s sense of the visceral sometimes gets close to literal. In the very first scene, a Confederate casualty has his festering leg amputated amid the ruins of a once-grand Virginia plantation. When the soldier’s former slave, now savior, puts down the saw to sop up the blood, the sound of a soaked rag wrung into a bucket is its own grisly hymn to misery and perseverance.
