Helen Shaw reviews Becca Blackwell and Amanda Duarte’s show “Snatch Adams & Tainty McCracken Present It’s That Time of the Month,” at SoHo Rep, and the Irish Rep revival of Brian Friel’s “Translations.”
Heretofore, the comic and experimental performer Blackwell’s best-known work was “They, Themself and Schmerm,” an immensely funny standup piece about their transition, which somehow got laughs out of stories about, among other things, childhood molestation.
” Certainly, a few of the folks in the audience had to be coached through a few basics, like the exact location of the clitoris, but Snatch and Tainty insist that it’s actually quite easy to understand one another’s holes and non-holes, as long as we’re willing to stop attaching so much shame to them. And, gosh, imagine if this is what our late-night shows had been telling us all along. We leave the theatre through a narrow pink tunnel—and it’s enough to make you feel reborn.
