1 June 2006: Mamet, Boston Marriage

Hallie Flanagan Theatre, Smith College. Benefit for New Century Theatre. Pauline Productions

A three-character play about a long-term relationship of two women — called in Boston a “Boston marriage.” I had a difficult time with this play, though I was sitting close to the action. I simply could not get into the spirit of the thing. I later discovered that my hearing aid battery was failing and I was missing many consonants. So I refrain from setting down what was a fallible, negative response.
