Equivocation

melanei la, ca

The play has so many significant moments, that it becomes insignificant as a work of art...nothing stands out. Players pontificate, then contradict themselves seconds later. The final statement, both onstage and in the playwright's notes in the program, left me baffled. A lot of pain and passion in search of a play. If the historical allusions are to Bush's WMD witch hunt, at least the guy never ordained a puff piece play be writ to save his history, and his memoir had few readers.

I had seen "Equivocation" in Ashland, Oregon, and was anxious to see it again in Los Angeles, although I was worried that this production might not be as good as the one in Oregon. It was even better. However, I was shocked that at least a quarter of the audience left during the intermission. My wife thought it was probably because the audience was uncomfortable with the politics. I specutlated it was because the audience's ignorance of basic history and theater made it difficult for them to follow what the play was about. This is magnificent theater. I would love to know why these people left.
