‘Hold On To Me Darling’ Review: Adam Driver Has The Country Blues In Off Broadway Revival


Deadline review of Adam Driver in 'Hold On To Me Darling' Off Broadway.

Not far into Kenneth Lonergan ‘s fame-is-hell-but-what-isn’t fable Hold On To Me Darling, Adam Driver, playing a country music crossover megastar about to begin filming his latest blockbuster, pledges in an accent so thick it could dent Johnny Cash’s belt buckle that he’s going to turn his famous life around “just as soon as I get done with this goddamn space movie.” Soon enough, String decides he’s going to dump the psycho starlet with whom he’s been making tabloid headlines, marry the starry-eyed, butter-wouldn’t-melt hotel masseuse he’s just met, and quit all the star-making-machinery in favor of the small-town Tennessee life he long ago fled. Title: Hold On To Me Darling Venue: Off Broadway’s Lucille Lortel Theatre Written By: Kenneth Lonergan Directed By: Neil Pepe Cast: Adam Driver, Heather Burns, Adelaide Clemens, Keith Nobbs, CJ Wilson, Frank Wood Running time: 2 hr 40 min (including intermission)
