Meteor Shower review at Booth Theatre, New York – ‘Amy Schumer’s appealing Broadway debut’
6 / 10
Martin's play is an experimental comedy that sometimes feels like an extended sketch show in which the same scenes are replayed again and again with different outcomes. The story is a little like that of Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Set in 1990s California, it sees one married couple entertaining another at their swanky home. Instead of playing 'get the guests', as Martha and George do, the guests here seem on a mission to 'get the hosts', in more ways than one. The result is an occasionally brittle but seldom biting comedy, a not exactly subtle piece of writing about domestic relationships and the games people play with each other, given a cosmic edge by a spectacular meteor shower.
