My overall impression
Imagine going out to lunch with your friend and having her (or him) tell you all about their relationship…all of the juicy details…the good and the bad! Now, even better, imagine hearing BOTH sides of the story! Now imagine them ACTING IT OUT! Well, that’s kind of what it’s like when you see 52 Pickup. Each card has a different scene in the relationship that the actors re-enact. And the interesting part is when the deck is shuffled…no one knows what will come next! So the performers have to think quickly on their feet to move with fluidity from one scene to the next. You can see this play many times and actually have different results! I’ve seen it a few times, and as an actor, it’s very interesting to see the choices they make and and how it is different from the others. All of the actors do a great job – you can see their own personalities sprinkled throughout and it creates a very natural and different performance each time. And the subject is so relatable that you can’t help but feel attached to the characters. Thanks to the talented director Paul Barry for bringing this extraordinary experience! This amazingly unique production will probably be on your mind every time you see see a play. Your heart will smile and your eyes will water and I think you’ll remember this forever :)
