| Every second was predictable. There is no insight. The writing lacks retrospect. It is shallow. The mother tells her kids that she never wanted to be a mother over and over again, and each time it is delivered the exact same way. No cumulative understanding accrues as the play should unfold but doesn't. Lack of craft pervades. Jim Parsons is totally wrong, he tries to play it for laughs, the pain and sensitivity of the character is lost. This is not a good play. Tina Landau tries to create filler but it can't give the play complexity. | |
