The latest production in the Park Theatre's Park 90 auditorium is a revival of Neil LaBute's Some Girl(s). Brought to the stage by the Buckland Theatre Company, the play follows Guy as he revisits some old flames in an attempt to exorcise some relationship demons before his wedding.
SOME GIRL(S) opens tomorrow night at the PARK Theatre.
The production stars Roxanne Pallett, Carley Stenson, Carolyn Backhouse, Elly Condron and Charles Dorfman.

Add to that the play's simplistic and seemingly undramatic form, basically four two-handers in a row taking place in one hotel room - I didn't respond warmly to it.
