Sarah on theater

What I'm seeing lately!

A trio of one-act plays by Ethan Coen that delve into the complexities, miserable glory, and confusion of love, sex, and human relationships.


★★ ★★★

Pedigreed but inessential trio of one acts. Don’t go for Aubrey Plaza; she’s kinda wooden. Characters are interchangeable fountains of Ethan Coen dialogue and that could tickle you more than it did me. Neil Pepe’s staging is pretty nice but scene/act changes are hard to distinguish and people are applauding at the wrong moments. Whispery audience, phones went off at full volume several times.
