Review: JONAH at Studio Theatre
There is expert craftsmanship and technical polish in the production of Jonah, now playing at the always professional Studio Theatre, but there is also a feeling of detachment and insularity in this play by Rachel Bonds. The themes of parental neglect, abuse by a stepparent, the fight for fulfillment of ambition, and awareness/phases of sexual development have been dealt with so many times in the past that it would be refreshing if these themes were presented in a manner that compelled an individual response of identification, understanding, and sympathy.
