| For many, AIDS was the plague before Covid—and a far more devastating one. LOVE & SCIENCE wants to tell the story of how AIDS began and progressed—it’s written by a scientist!—but it fails to even nearly approximate the terrors of that time. The play—more a (barely) dramatized timeline—is entirely unbelievable; there's not a convincing person or circumstance on the stage. Two young gay med students meet cute as AIDS manifests and spreads. What follows is as facile and shallow as that sounds, a desultory attempt at playwriting (not a science). Seeing Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' trenchant and invigorating--and partly though vaguely related--new play the night before maybe amplified the misery of this one. |
