Summary

Playwright Charles Smith created a fascinating character in Jelly Belly, a consummate manipulator by turns likable and smarmy, angry and needy, pathetic and dangerous. This seducer excels at playing like he has your best interests at heart while setting you up for a fall. Though he’s summoned someone wonderful to life, Smith seems at a loss as to what to do with him. (Source credited: http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/jelly-belly/Content?oid=890080)
