Review
This is a script with an exquisite sense of balance; Trans Scripts, Part I is thoughtful, informative, honest, and playful, all at once.
Company One’s production of this unconventional work is absorbing: this is the kind of exciting theater that we need to see more often.
I like to see dances that are somehow all of a piece. Hope this doesn’t mean I’m sinking into some kind of retro-fogeyism.
I ask you, thinking of The Founder: is it just a coincidence that the name Donald is imbedded in the name McDonald’s?
Director Luis García Berlanga entertainingly but ruthlessly lampoons the cruelties and absurdities of Spanish life under dictatorship.
All of these stories are powerful… if only they were treated with dramatic complexity.
There was a good energy to the depiction of movie-Woody’s nocturnal odyssey, and a few funny bits.
It’s good fun and, for a while at least, it’s interesting to watch the actors fulfill the play’s impish demands.
It would be a mistake to call the absorbing Eve out of her Ruins a mystery novel.
