Quicktake on XMAS WEEK - 365
After all the build-up, this example of Park’s recent year-long playwriting effort was rather underwhelming. TheatreZone’s diverse cadre was enthusiastic and interesting to watch in an hour-long effort that preceded their pre-New Years party. The nine pieces done had echoes of Beckett and Shepard, with a touch of Wilson in “The Key.”
Other companies will be trying other “weeks” worth of writing later in 2007 and Parks herself will be at MIT during the Spring semester. Perhaps if the author and one of her directors can get toether when these productions are over, a coherent piece could be extracted from these rough drafts. The best news of the evening was that construction of an elevator to reach TheatreZone’s third-floor hall is under way. Now if something could be done about public transportation and parking they’d be all set.
