[NEohioPAL] Edward Albee's MARRIAGE PLAY continues at Kennedy's

[Greg Cesear]

Dear Neohiopal Friends:                                                                           May, 2009

Cesear's Forum continues it’s production of Edward Albee's MARRIAGE PLAY, through May 23rd at Kennedy's Down Under, PlayhouseSquare.  

     Edward Albee borrows a page from his earlier work WHO”S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA 
     WOOLF? in his ongoing anatomy of modern marriage.  …It’s a 
     nonstop slugfest that is, in turn, funny, violent and exhausting.  
                        --Fran Heller, Cleveland Jewish News

    Albee is an acknowledged genius at being able to write married characters that
    swerve almost instantaneously from jocular intimacy to brutal belittlement.
                        --Christine Howey, Rave & Pan

    …one of Albee’s many acrimonious vaudevilles  …What saves the evening from
    sinking into pretentious verbiage is a cast that plays against type.  Dana Hart, as
    Jack, has the shaggy, gentle charm of one of Fred McMurray’s rumpled nutty  
    professors.  Julia Kolibab’s Gillian possesses the matronly warmth of a Julia Child
    released from the kitchen.  The actors defrost the play with a masquerade-party wink.
                        --Keith A. Joseph, Cleveland Scene

    This is heady, combative stuff, fearsomely funny and devastating, patented Albee.
    Under the steady hand of director Greg Cesear, performers Dana Hart as the
    earnestly lost Jack and Julia Kolibab as the immovably frowsy Gillian go the 
    distance, unflaggable, unflappable and unforgettable.
                        --Tony Brown, The Plain Dealer
