Jose Solís takes a look at The Last Match:
There is an element of discovery in Anna Ziegler's plays that could fool us into believing the characters onstage have suddenly become aware of their existence and have taken the reins of their lives, distancing themselves from what the actors playing them memorized from the page. These are moments when the characters realize things about their lives that lead them to speak truths that, despite their power, never turn into platitudes. If nothing else, this inexplicable tenderness reaffirms Ziegler's status as one of the most vibrant playwrights in America. Her latest The Last Match which opened at the Laura Pels Theater on October 25, is no exception. . . . |
