Review of "The Realistic Joneses" at Dobama Theatre
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Dobama Theatre more than keeps up with ‘The Realistic Joneses’ Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics In Will Eno’s “Middletown,” which was staged by Dobama Theatre in 2012, we were introduced to the small New England community of Grover’s Corners, whose population consisted of impulsive, stream of consciousness self-disclosers with no filter and no off-button. The chatty citizens of this township shared every random observation, nagging anxiety, and metaphysical thought that popped into their heads. They casually pondered the vast mysteries of existence and the morbidity that lies beneath it as if discussing the weather. If you listened closely, diligently and patiently – always a wise choice during any Dobama Theatre production – the playwright’s clever wordplay and subtle punch lines gave way to weighty and intriguing insights into the human condition and the ways of the world. Eno’s love of language and penchant for using it is immediately evident in his newest work, “The Realistic Joneses,” which left Broadway in 2014 and is currently being performed at Dobama.
