What I liked
This research project-turned-crackling play, as seen in very close quarters at the Hudson Theatre two weeks ago, was creative theatre at its best! From an ordinary syllabus erupted a series of vignettes, characters, plot lines, and hilarities of confusing plot lines that, when fused with Nicole Keating’s direction, became abundantly clear: from the extremely ordinary springs the liveliness of theatrics so engaging that we are constantly rebalancing the Rubik Cubes in our brains to track who is who and/or why. An eye and brain “opener,” blessed with acting and shenanigans, that would defy even Aristophanes and his Frogs! I loved every minute of it and am still sorting my “cubes” (so to speak)!
