Who Am I This Time (& Other Conundrums of Love)
The North Coast Rep's offering an always entertaining, if undemanding, evening of theater. Aaron Posner adapted three of Kurt Vonnegut's stories for the stage. Remarkably upbeat, they detail love's varieties, enacted in a small community theater in a small Connecticut town in 1962. Directed by Andrew Barnicle, many of the cast play multiple (often opposite) roles, as when Jason Maddy and Christina Flynn are faded wallflowers, by day, and bang the house down Stanley and Stella in Streetcar by night. Cynthia Marty's a modest housewife and the ever-trusting Blanche Du Bois. Tom Newton's an engaging, Our Town-like narrator. The design work serves the show well, especially Marty Burnett's set, at once spare and functional and teasingly abstract, much like Vonnegut's prose.
Worth a try.
