A modern day Restoration Comedy with a contemporary gender fluid slant takes to the stage in Liz Duffy Adams' play OR, now playing at Buffalo's Irish Classical Theatre. This polished production brings a modern day sensibility to a 17th century comedy of sorts. Adams pens a play that while set in the late 1600's, carries 21st century morals and social commentary. She blurs the lines between a predestined dichotomy of living by 'either-or' constraints. Must someone be 100% chaste or else a whore, is there only good without a trifle bad in everyone. And does a play need to have an 'or' subtitle. Needless to say, everything is not a black and white situation.
