Marc J. Franklin Alden Ehrenreich might be lucky “Solo: A Star Wars Story” was such a box office bomb.
Because what was bad for his bank account was fantastic for his creative freedom, liberating Ehrenreich, who had been trapped on the anesthetizing career trajectory that’s a prerequisite for movie stardom, to embrace his wild side. In “Weapons” and “Fair Play,” Ehrenreich revealed previously unseen depths as a caddish cop and a cutthroat hedge fund analyst. As impressive as those performances were, they don’t approach his work in Gina Gionfriddo’s “Becky Shaw,” a savagely funny revival that premieres this week at the Hayes Theater.
