"the central female role been written for a woman who doesn't spend most of the evening in black lingerie, spike heels, and lacy garters"

I wasn't as obsessed about this as you apparently were, but I think her costuming was more varied and for more time than you assertion suggests.

Ouch! But this is a fantastic review. Really well written and I fear on-the-mark from the clips I've seen of the show. Sigh.

Thanks for your insight!

I'm so glad you got to see her!

I, too, have fond memories of randomly catching her amazing performance in HAPPY END. I was living across the street at the time and kind of wandered over, and I'm so glad I did. She IS the real deal.

This review surely makes me want to see this play! Would be helpful though to mention where the Flux Theatre is as 'across the river' can sound scary to some of us New Yorkers. BTW: their website is woefully inadequate in mentioning their whereabouts.

Alan B--

Thanks for taking the time to comment. But why not go out on a limb and defend your opinions--or at least say what they are? We might even have a bit of a conversation.

Unless you just want to say that you think that any opinions that differ from your own are nonsense--a legit opinion, of course, but, I think, a sad one.

2012-05-01T20:27:35.999-05:00

Wow. Much of the nonsense in your post has affirmed for me that we have completely opposite taste and judgment.

Love your opening line.

2012-04-26T09:46:19.222-05:00

I actually found Steve to be the most interesting character in the show because I found his honesty refreshing and real.

2012-04-21T23:47:07.645-05:00

Play hasn't changed at all, except that Shamos and company have gotten even better at their roles. I think you're taking the wrong thing away from this production (though I respect your opinion!) when you write that "Clybourne Park establishes a white "them" that we white people in the audience can feel superior to and laugh at". For me, it reminds me of how uncomfortable racism -- be it casual, overt, or even accidental -- is, and how much it messes with our ability simply to communicate with one another. I don't feel superior to anybody in the play -- and I don't think that Steve is wrong in wanting to do away with this crippling "tact" that keeps our fences up.

I look forward to your review. I'd particularly be interested in hearing how it's changed, if it has.

2012-04-21T00:11:12.538-05:00

I'm seeing it again (after catching the Playwrights Horizon performance) tonight, but I have a feeling I'll be disagreeing with you on this one.

Thanks for your note.

2012-04-20T20:33:46.782-05:00

Um, the characters are intentionally written and directed as cartoonish archetypes. That's why we get such a stylized depiction from each of them, particularly in the first act. Apparently, you wanted Norris to write a completely different play and evaluated what was on stage based on your intentions, not his. Judging by the critical reviews and the audience reaction when I saw it, most others enjoyed the play for what it is.

Bottom lline is that "review" is the most inacurate thing I read about Barb Jungr and her craft.

IS Vicki still in stage makeup? If not, whoever styled her shoot be shot. She's naturally so beautiful, but that pic makes her look garish.

There's going to be a production of Don't Talk to the Actors in Stony Point, NY, at the Penguin with Beth Fowler and Richard Kline. http://www.theatermania.com/new-york-city-theater/news/04-2012/beth-fowler-richard-kline-to-star-in-penguin-reps-_54299.html

2012-04-05T12:36:04.673-05:00

It's really quite impressive, the range she gets. I've also never quite heard anybody say "Thank you" with "I'm going to kill you" so clearly being meant.

"far-flung spittle"? Beautiful!
