Landscape of the Body


Profile Theatre
March 5- April 6, 2008

Review by Followspot:

What will it take to get directors to stop blocking for proscenium when working in a thrust? Play the angles - the sides count! Alder, Bruno, Herman are fantastic, but the show lags when they are offstage. Props matter - if the body doesn't look like a body, it's not a body.

Presumably somebody at Profile is aware that their web site is no longer active?

Excruciatingly dull. It was striking how non-dramatic huge chunks of this play felt. After a while it was so boring it was almost impossible to hear what anyone was saying. This felt like a play someone dashed off in an hour.

Lots of yawning in the audience as the interminable Act 1 proceeded. Painful.

Great cast, but there is only so much you can do with a script like this.
