Extraordinary Chambers
930 Tenth Avenue, San Diego, 92101
Cost: $15 - $30
David Wiener's drama takes a long time to percolate. But when it does, it steams. An American couple come to Cambodia in 2003, he for a big business deal, she to see the sights. They know nothing of the country's horrific past. By play's end the playwright does a deft job of erasing labels - even of ascribing guilt - as something much deeper takes hold. Mo`olelo's production boasts some of its best design work to date. And top flight performances by Greg Watanabe (Dr. Heng may have been a sadistic torturer for the Khmer Rouge) and Albert Park as a photojournalist (like Dith Pran in The Killing Fields), who survives one of the most-star-crossed love stories in recent memory.
Critic's Pick.
