It's a Pulitzer Prize winning play by Edward Albee with shades of George & Martha from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf but with more evident affection between the pair. A funny, often frustrating and in-depth dialogue about what it means to be human, the relationships we form and how they define us. Also, there are giant talking lizard people. I love the legitimate theatre. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

On the heels of the success of Edward Albee's The Collected Plays of Edward Albee, Overlook brings back--in a stand-alone volume--one of Albee's most cherished plays, a fantastic story of what it means to be alive--winner of the 1975 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. On a deserted stretch of beach, a middle-aged couple relaxes after a picnic lunch and converse idly about home, family, and their life together. She sketches; he naps. Then, suddenly, they are joined by two sea creatures, a pair of lizards from the depths of the ocean, with whom they engage in a fascinating dialogue. The emotional and intellectual reverberations of this bizarre conversation will linger in the heart and the mind long after the curtain falls--or the last page is turned.

i'm really not a fan of anthropomorphizing (like the ability to speak english) random animals to make a point that could just as easily be made using actual people. or a different story. or only animals. or whatever. it annoys me in general and it annoyed me in this play; as did the explanations of things that these lizards didn't know because they aren't people. the people themselves also annoyed me quite a bit. this by itself isn't relevant except that all the annoying picking they did at each other seemed drawn out and for the sole purpose of lengthening this very slim play.
a quick read with a worthwhile question being addressed, and i even found myself smiling a few times throughout, but overall not my thing. ( )
