New York City-based production company The Wild Root Company announced today that it will launch an interactive workshop experience for ticketed audiences who attend the company's first look presentations of Rocco Natale's new play ROOM AT THE END OF THE HALL, part of Arena Stage's Kogod Cradle Series.
I once saw a production of Samuel Beckett's play, Play, that featured three "urns" and as a young college student I had never seen something so remarkable before. It was odd and extraordinary, and while I don't remember much about that production, the visual has stayed with me for years. Sunday evening I saw Studio Theatre's 2nd Stage production of Mark O'Rowe's Terminus, and I immediately thought of that. O'Rowe's somewhat grotesque poetically prosed piece is comprised of three unnamed characters who like those urns in Play talk directly to us. The difference here is that they are in monologue form and the three characters never interact with each other as their speaking.
As it turns out, two parts family dysfunction (Lewis and Dana), added to one part interesting stranger (Raina), mixed vigorously in the small, brightly stark living room/lobby of an Italian Bed & Breakfast, by a genially detached innkeeper (Alex), will give you a satisfying bite of drama.

No rural area has as many summer stages as the Berkshires of Massachusetts whose offerings overflow its borders.
Synetic Theater's Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog) is an ingeniously witty exploration of the trials and tribulations of traveling all told through the exploits of three men and their dog cruising the Thames.
I only wish the exceptionally talented cast and creative team had more to work with in terms of this particular script.

This play is not one for the books, but the production itself may be worth some look.
