I really enjoyed Vigil. I was afraid I wasn’t going to get to see it. I was surprised at how funny the piece is. Malcolm was naturally funny at the beginning and grew to hilarious by the end. I’m sure everyone in the audience could relate to his character’s life in some way so his non-funny moments worked. He’s one of the few contemporary TV and film actors that work well on stage. Helen Stenborg was great, too. Her expressions were clear and funny with sass.
