Standing ovation for the beginning. If only one could do standing ovations so early in a play. The 3 first minutes are perfectly delivered when the couple relay their relationships problems in the perfect image of today’s telepathic youngsters who do not seem to find it necessary to finish a single sentence. Well, most of the time they don’t make it pass the Well, you, eh… no… yes… let alone getting a verb thrown in.
And while the couple is self absorbed, the doctor chokes to nobody’s notice. Brilliant. One point. If only the play had finished then, since, the remaning 55 minutes are… the same. The actors and actress are very believable and natural. One can see they are amazing at their job. Another point. Pity they just failed to have much to say beyond 4 basic ideas.
Let’s talk about your mother, the Freudean psichyatrist suggests vigorously in order to deflect the mutterings on who is his girlfriend cheating on with (yes, it is with the psychyatrist). The Dr. and the woman are arguing. You should change… if you could stop… I really don’t like it when… Will you marry me? Excellent. Here is the 3rd point for Couples counsellings.
Apart from this, some verbs appear, and maybe a few sentences on the psycoanalysis of coupling and the skeleton of a story but if they had stopped coming in an out of the stage all the time, and finished a few sentences more, the story told in 20 minutes would have been far more engaging than what they achieved in one hour.
