Thirty years ago, Helen and Mark broke up, but they never completely forgot one another. Now, they are getting a second chance at first love. Single, and frustrated with dating apps, they are ready to try again. But Mark has an agenda and Helen has a secret that could derail his plans. Still is a funny yet heart-wrenching story for anyone who has ever wondered “what if?”.
This tension is overlaid with a nearly smothering blanket of anxiety. The audience is keenly aware that Helen and Mark have a limited amount of time to move on from their differences, and not solely because of Mark’s travel schedule. Helen pointedly informs Mark she is a very slow writer, having taken seven years to complete her last book. Is she ready now to begin a new chapter and meet Mark halfway? As the couple teeters between happiness and hopelessness, there’s something to make everyone watching feel by turns righteous and uncomfortable. Still, it turns out, is deeply moving.
I don’t read the PR (Egad!) materials sent o me for most productions I see. I had enough of people telling me what to think in the Catholic Church. These days I go in unprepared and wait to see what happens. So it came as a surprise to me that I had seen a production of Lia Romeo‘s STILL last year And I repeat what I said at that time. Ditch the first act. The very little that is accomplished could be swept directly into the second act with no one the wiser.
