| Just saw the Chicago production at Red Orchid Theatre yesterday. Chris Jones gave it a rave and has designated it a must-see show in the Tribune's On The Town Friday section. I found it to be engrossing and the revelations by Annette and Jane were certainly shocking. However, having seen Tracy Letts' The Minutes (which explores similar territory) just a few days earlier, I was a bit underwhelmed. Where the ultimate malevolence in Shawn's play unfolds subtly and with a lot of irony, Letts' work is much more explicit, in your face, and hard hitting. I'm just curious how other posters reacted to the Shawn play -- I don't recall a lot of posts about it earlier this year during its run at the Signature. | |
