A Parallelogram celebrated its opening night Sunday, July 21, at the Mark Taper Forum. The play, by Bruce Norris, is directed by Anna D. Shapiro. Along with the director Anna D. Shapiro and the cast (Carlo Alban, Marylouise Burke, Marin Ireland and Tom Irwin), check out the video with Michael Chernus, Judy Reyes, Ana Ortiz, Jeff Goldblum, Jimmy Smits and James Franco at the opening night party for 'A Parallelogram.'
According to Euclidean geometry, a parallelogram is defined as a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides that are non-intersecting, which means they will never cross. Bruce Norris throws definition to the winds as one of the characters in his blistery new play A Parallelogram, now at the Mark Taper Forum, totally manipulates and reinvents it. It's an off-quilter exploration of life taken to extremes, showing the contradictions, disappointments and overall negativity that living has to offer. The joys expressed are a paltry number. Taking today's technological mode a giant step further, one quite ordinary gadget practically becomes a fifth character in the play: a remote control with magical powers that can instantaneously zap the repetition of an action at will, at least when used by Bee (Marin Ireland) or her older counterpart/conscience (Marylouise Burke). With stunningly skilled direction from Anna D. Shapiro and an excellent cast of four actors, A Parallelogram curiously entertains with vitality, intelligence and a deliciously wicked sense of humor.
