Disruption: A Play That’s Less Disruptive Than It Thinks
6 / 10
Though it centers on trailblazing (and rather threatening) technology, Disruption is a pretty by-the-numbers play. You won’t need an algorithm to predict the play’s ending; from the first scene, it’s clear where nearly all the characters will end up. (Nick’s final moments teeter on the ridiculous, though Washington pulls them off.) Considering how insidious and all-consuming this imaginary algorithm is, the Hersh Ellis–directed drama should feel more menacing. Instead, it just feels a little shady.
