![]() It’s told with the help of sound effects and a wig, with Tyson playing both himself and his profanity-spewing opponent, who he at once point compares to “Night of the Living Dead” and Jason from “Friday the 13th” for his ability to pop back up after being laid out. The most enjoyable anecdote is an unexpectedly lengthy account of a relatively minor moment in Tyson’s life - his out-of-the-ring brawl with fellow boxer Mitch Green. The title of the show suggests unvarnished openness, but what it really is is an alternate personal history, a refutation of public assumptions - it presumes you’re already familiar with the signposts of its subject’s life, and skips through those, dwelling on certain events while completely brushing over others, including much of Tyson’s boxing career. Lee was perhaps reluctant to sand away all of those edges, and what we see onstage in “Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth” is a bumpy but riveting affair that stretches from Tyson’s tough childhood in Brownsville, Brooklyn to the highs of his championship career, his imprisonment, addiction, and his current place - clean, sober and vegan (!), a family man. ![]() ‘Secret Invasion’ Review: Marvel’s Superhero-Lite Spy Thriller Is High on Twists, Low on Wits ![]()
