All plays gear toward an audience's experience. Will Eno's does more than most. Just about every moment is meant to shake-up those sitting comfortably in the dark. The narrator flits from angst to stand-up comedy to incomplete thoughts and becomes a Humpty Dumpty the viewers have to reassemble. New Village Arts doesn't serve the quirky play well. Adam Brick speaks in a monotone and is too unwilling to take the play to the house seats. He reads with attitude, not conviction, and does more acting than being. The staging is too smooth, too passive to do what Eno wants: encourage people to overcome their fear of living life more fully.
