idyll of Puerto Vallarta, and so it is off there she goes, Neshat impersonating the people she meets along the way—who may or may not aid her in her search. Just as in Cale’s previous high-profile stage monologue,, stage adornment is minimal. Neshat, like Crudup, sits on a chair to address the audience, Neshat enclosed by two partitions with window cutouts. Thom Weaver’s lighting is clever and transporting when it comes to locales.
Ethan’s disappearance is the galvanizing puzzle of the play, but it is oddly de-centered from what we hear about. Sandra’s adventure takes in a hot Italian stranger, who seduces her. She has just separated from her husband, and to be courted by this incredibly sexy, swimmer-bodied hunk is a delicious entrée to a possible future. In one of the play’s most beautiful scenes, the chair is re-imagined as a bed, in which the couple are curled up together.
But Mr. Hot Stuff is not all he seems, and soon Sandra is dealing with a snowballing set of thriller complexities—a fire destroys her business, there are threatening phone calls, and still the mystery of what happened to Ethan. For this critic—thinking about the very real harm done to LGBTQ people out in the world, as seen brutally—the play is weirdly unconcerned with Ethan, and what really happened to him. His life, his loves, his desires, are sidelined.
However, our audience was agog throughout, tangibly invested in what happened next. Neshat navigates both her character and the audience through the play’s spiraling complications as Sandra nears solving the mystery of Ethan, which goes on to change her life in every way.
