Title: That's About Enough
Product review: I'm a fan of LaBute's. I loved "In the Company of Men," "Your Friends and Neighbors," and thought "Fat Pig" was pretty darn good. But this latest play seems a retread--and a dull one at that. This interracial love triangle with its unreliable narrator is too clever by half.I'm not the kind of reader who thinks we must "like" the characters but don't we have to find them interesting, at least? How about a rewrite, Neil. Did a little deeper and stop relying on the "surprise" ending to make it all work. You're becoming the M. Night Shymalan of plays, without the cool special effects.
