The Stendhal Syndrome

Profile Theatre Project
October 16, 2004

Two one-acts all about being caught up in the orgasmic and cathartic power of the arts lacked libido. Too-safe, too-real direction ultimately paled this skilled, well-balanced, often funny cast, making characters that seem to simply go through mechanical motions. Redundant epilogue reinforced irony. Nothing to hate; just hard to love.
