"There's not a lot of fat to trim in KRISIT, a satire on Hollywoodโ€ฆ. Skewering the greed, vanity and bloated egos of Hollywood types is an easy target that has been done more times than Krisit's crow's-feet. But York's script has plenty of clever quipsโ€ฆ." Robert Dominguez, Daily News What is "Krisit"? โ€ฆ a reclusive and peevish former movie star who hasn't left her home in 25 years. When the show opens she's lolling in her tub, wearing make-up and flashy jewels and being the sharp, brooks-no-argument grand dame with her new maid Lulu. Lulu is clearly role-playing. She's entirely too knowledgeable about who's who and who's doing what to who in Hollywood. She reads the industry press a little too avidly and she's awfully eager to lure Krisit out of retirement. In no time Lulu is taking a meeting with director Peter, who has a history with Krisit, and a stalled career that makes him desperate to have a project green-lighted. York uses the set-up to have fun commenting with engaging (and occasionally brutal) honesty on many things, including the insults of aging. Krisit has a leakage issue; Peter trades in wives for younger models to convince himself he still has whatever it is he needs to tell himself he hasโ€ฆ York's voice is distinct as she reminds us how myopically we see ourselves even as we are blind to key truths; and about our relentless pursuit of ambitions which are generally not worth relentless pursuit. York also shows off a demented imagination with things like her solution for what to do with liposuctioned fatโ€ฆ Jackie Demaline, Cincinnati Equirer
