Review: Patriotic Bitch
Have you heard? Racism is bad, and illegal immigrants have as much right to be in this country as anyone else. That's the agenda behind much of Alanna Ubach's one-woman show "Patriotic Bitch," and, to the predominantly lefty Gotham theater aud, it's about as challenging as a hardline pro-kitten stance. Thankfully, easy politics aren't the sum total of Ubach's piece -- three of her characters are remarkably well-observed and interesting, though they feel like part of a shorter, tighter, better play.
