Hmm, from your review it sounds more like bad Ionesco rather than bad Albee. Maybe it's bad both.

We're lucky to have a professional reviewer who gives his unbiased opinion so that we can determine whether or not this is a show we'd enjoy seeing. Even though this off-off-Broadway show "opened" on Sunday night, this is the only professional review I was able to find via Google.

It's a really good review. We never learn enough about the couple to give a damn about them either way! It felt like the playwright just grabbed a style he loves and off to the races. I can't blame him. That group of playwrights were heavy hitters. I can blame the direction and the theater for producing it. The temperatures were not exactly comforting either. On a 94 degree day, the lobby was a sauna and the theater was an ice box.

I saw it last night. Unfortunately, next to a "Nikki" level PITA comp critter. The less they pay, the more they complain. Front row center fuss budget, constantly crossing and uncrossing his legs, waving his cane around, cleaning his glasses at least six times. At intermission, he said to the refreshments person, "You know what's worse than tigers? This play! Hahahahaha!" Unfortunately, he returned. At the most pivotal moment, wife's cathartic breakdown, he turned on his iPhone to check the time. Yep, ten. Not that he had any pressing engagement. Just bored and had to distract forty people. At the end he clapped like a seal and yelled "bravo!" I always know my night will be ruined when I see him. He and Nikki will enjoy a circle of hell together in due time.
