TT: Walking the walk
Last night I went downtown in the pouring rain to see a workshop performance of In Private/In Public, a double bill of one-act plays written by George Hunka (also known as Mr. Superfluities) and directed by Isaac Butler (also known as Mr. Parabasis), two dramabloggers of strong opinions not always identical to my own! I got soaked--but it was worth it.Both plays deal with relationships gone grossly wrong. In Private, the curtain-raiser, is a darkly drawn sketch of obsessional love, while In Public, the longer of the two, is a "serious comedy" à la Alan Ayckbourn that's chockful of unsettlingly sharp-edged punch lines. Not only are the plays deftly staged, but the acting, by Darian Dauchan, Abe Goldfarb, Daryl Lathon, Sasha Taublieb, and Jennifer Gordon Thomas, is first-rate. Remember those names--you'll hear them again, and not just from me.
Alas, there's only one more performance, tonight at eight o'clock at manhattantheatresource, right around the corner from Washington Square Park. The theater is very small, so if you want to come--and I hope you do--call 212-501-4751 to make a reservation.
