I'm surprised that there's not much discussion of this play yet. I found it to be quite moving and very powerful indeed. The kind of muscular, likable drama that can easily be recommended to anybody. The last scene doesn't really work, but the majority of the 90 minute show is about as good as it can be. The cast is also, without exception, remarkable.
I reviewed it here. To me, it felt massively unfinished. Karen Pittman and Namir Smallwood are excellent, though.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
I really enjoyed it! The acting, especially the monologue work, was excellent. I do wish there was more to it--I found myself wanting more after it was over. But it was a really moving show.
