THEATER - "Sucker Fish Messiah"

Ryan Michael Teller’s Sucker Fish Messiah is the story of two brothers, Len and Paul, played by Darren Ryan and Shannon Jones. The older Len is a once-prosperous salesman who is on the verge of a nervous breakdown; Paul, on the other hand, is a successful songwriter who is preparing a move to LA. Len lives in the past, dreaming of his ex-wife, (unaware that she’s on her way to win him back), and he is haunted by vivid memories – especially one about the "sucker fish" they once owned. These qualities make the character even more endearing once he starts to unravel (kudos to Ryan, who plays him so convincingly). Len is the obvious star of Sucker Fish, but unfortunately he’s an interesting character trapped in an otherwise terrible play.
