“The show has a jumpy kind of rhythm, especially in its sensual scenes, manifest in lots of moving around of inconsequential pieces of furniture when it needs more of a humanistic build,” writes Tribune critic ChrisJonesTrib.
Stephens’ play, a two-hander, was produced at Manhattan Theatre Club in 2016 with Mary-Louise Parker and Denis Arndt in a production widely admired for the sexual chemistry of the two actors. Alas, I wouldn’t say the pair on the stage of the Raven Theatre manifest a similar energy, even though they’re both fine, sexy actors. They just don’t ever really feel connected.
Granted, it’s a complex matrix of a relationship. Whether or not they have met randomly is open to question throughout the 90 minutes running time as Stephens probes the role of self-interest and even exploitation in love affairs.Laura Coover and Scott Anderson in Griffin Theatre’s production of “Heisenberg: The Uncertainty Principle” at Raven Theatre.
I think part of the issue in director Nate Cohen’s production is that Coover reads a tad too young role for this role and, although Anderson leans beautifully into his character’s suspicions and uncertainties, he is more uneasy when it comes to approaching his regeneration.
If you plan to go, I’d give it another week or so, allowing the show to settle and become more sure of its own uncertainty and determination.When: Through March 26Advertisement
