Sordid Lives

Triangle Productions
April 14, 2005

Texas-sized caricatures played to appreciative audience. Some near moments by Nicholette Reid; reliable comic relief from Karen Boettcher-Tate; sympathetic appeal by Margie Boule. But, as a whole, lacking coherence, momentum, skimming the point of reconciliation, transformation--structural problems in both production and script. Wanted to laugh but felt forced, contrived.

You just described every Triangle production I've ever seen, especially when Don Horn is directing. Gay theatre will benefit greatly from his retirement.
