STAGE PLAY: HE'S MY HUSBAND. NO HE'S MY MAN...

While sitting in doing my movie reviews with Billy T. for his radio show "The Billy T Experiment" on 88.1FM WHPR a week ago, we had as a guest the lovely Christina Chatine, a stage/screen play writer who stopped by to promote her upcoming play "He's My Husband. No He's My Man". Where as I am not a big stage play attendee, she carried on how her play was one not to miss so I accepted her offer to review her play. He's My Husband. No He's My Man...centers around primary characters Nila (Chiquetta Bunts) a regular church going woman and her abusive and womanizing husband Carl (Rodney D. Story). While she struggles to maintain her faith in God, be a good mother to her daughters and be a loving wife to her husband it is not enough to keep him out of the arms of his new boo Karma (Chanae Jordan). He even goes as far as savagely beating her at one point just so he can get out the house to be with his mistress. Yes very intense!

Christina Chatine who also has a cameo role on the stage presents an emotionally filled play that rides like a roller coaster, you go from happy, sad, mad and then you will laugh. Two of the male characters Rodney D. Story who plays Carl and Stephone Terrell who plays Marty will have you rolling with laughter, they provide the majority of the humor to the play. The rest of the cast was very versed on their roles as they did well during their performances. There were some scenes that could have been omitted trimming the time down some (remember my speciality is reviewing movies which average time length is 1 hr 45 mins). But overall I was thoroughly impress with the play and the messages that it delivered regarding relationships with God, marriage, your children and friends. Also that every reckless action comes with consequences that can even be fatal. Job well done to Christina Chatine who says she's on Tyler Perry's heels so he needs to make room.
