PlayMakers Repertory Company announced that acclaimed stage and screen actor Thursday Farrar will appear as Clairee Belcher in its upcoming production of Steel Magnolias by Robert Harling.
What do you get when you have six sassy Southern women in a salon? Something truly special. Steel Magnolias at PlayMakers Repertory Company shines through a standout ensemble of deeply authentic, lived-in performances, balancing sharp humor with emotional depth.
In the vernacular of the production, everything about it is quite satisfactory. Solid performances, handsome and functional staging, etc. It is all quite lovely. This production overall, however, fails to breakthrough. Christie’s script and characters are, as many of her works multifaceted and deliciously intertwined. As we get to know more about each of them over the course of the just short of two and a half hours (with one 15-minute intermission) information that makes all potential suspects much in the way the popular 1974 film Murder On The Orient Express did. This production is flat and rather two dimensional. Although the audience laughed in all the right places, we were never really drawn in. We watched the action play out before us, but the multitude of wait-what, and a-ha moments seemed to fall short not crossing the proscenium to connect with the audience members in the way they should. I will say that for me personally, , Matt Sullivan’s performance as Mr. Paravicini achieved the level of mysterious particularly well.
