NEW YORK—“You don’t know what it’s like” is a phrase people use to try to empathize with a situation they can never really understand—even when they happen to be in a similar position, and sometimes, not even then. Playwright Laura Winters examines this idea in “All of Me,” a sparkling comedic drama presented by The New Group at the Pershing Square Signature Center.
Alfonso (Danny J. Gomez) is leaving the hospital when he runs into Lucy (Madison Ferris), who after a few moments of silence, flirts with him. It’s a conversation which quickly shifts from the classic romcom meet-cute to something more serious, with probing questions from Lucy, hesitant answers from Alfonso, and an obvious mutual attraction.
