Boys and Girls
Tom Donaghy's "chaotic comedy" about two couples attempting to "pull away from their wild pasts" has dramatic possibilities. Same-sex couples consider parenting, but some must face adulthood first. Donaghy smartly shows how differences blend into similarities and give way to important questions about parenthood in general. But too often the playwright manipulates the characters, like pawns, to illustrate variations on the theme. The result is often lulls and sudden, soap operatic leaps. The playwright couldn't have asked for a more faithful production than the one at Diversionary. Matt Scott's inventive set, Shana Wride's sensitive direction, and performances by Anthony Methvin, Chrissy Burns, Faeren Adams, and Andrew Oswald do what they can to make a meager script work.
