Review of "Body Awareness" at Beck Center for the Arts
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 09 Oct '16

09 Oct '16

‘Body Awareness’ at Beck so low key it unlocks very little Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics “We’re lucky to be living in the era of Annie Baker,” wrote “The New Yorker” last year, when discussing the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright “who listens to people so carefully, who re-creates human speech with such amusement and care, that her characters feel startlingly familiar.” This was clearly a skill set acquired over time, for her early one-act comedy “Body Awareness,” which marked her Off-Broadway debut in 2008, is a decisively lesser work. It is currently getting a rather mundane staging at the Beck Center for the Arts. For more of this review, go to www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/.
