I'm frankly a bit confused by
Lisa D'Amour's new play being presented over at
Playwrights Horizons. It's seemingly missing a soul or at least one that director, Anne Kauffman failed to unearth. Fairly well-acted (read, could have been better), moderately funny, but mostly a snooze - the material never grabbed me. Frankly, I think 90% of the theatre left the show with the same un-answered questions as me and were generally bewildered by the rambling, directionless, and oddly concluded plot.
David Schwimmer, Darren Pettie, Amy Ryan, and new-commer
Sarah Sololovic prove capable but the material seemed to limit their abilities. And Poor
John Cullum doesn't even appear until the very end.
Let's just hope Second Stage doesn't pick this one up next season. It certainly doesn't deserve another look.
