THE GUNCLE ABROAD The Guncle, Book 2

Steven Rowley gives an exuberant performance of this heartwarming story about treasuring family. When his brother announces his upcoming remarriage, Patrick O'Hara, a gay sitcom star, must resume his most challenging role--as gay Uncle (guncle) Patrick, aka "GUP," to his teenage nephew, Grant, and niece, Maisie. Rowley's portrayals of the teens' complex emotions regarding their mother's death and their father's impending remarriage are infused with love and humor. Patrick's interactions with relatives at the Italian wedding further showcase Rowley's versatile voices, flamboyance, and cabaret-level vibrancy. Rowley's diverting, and tender, tromp through Italy and life's transitions truly shows that la vita è dolce (life is sweet). M.F.
