Durang-Durang ...

If you loved The Marriage of Bette and Boo but wondered how (and why) anyone sat through The Coast of Utopia, you'll love Christopher Durang's latest invention, a surprisingly moving new play that uses the surreal, absurd machinations of theater to explore the very real, absurd musings of our minds. As conceived on David Korins's fantastic turntable set, the play is (literally) a wild ride from start to finish, but somehow, startlingly, ends up at a very familiar place with some very familiar questions. How do we construct and conceive our own (theatrical) worlds? And if Christopher Durang could pilot my life for a while, would it all start to make more (surreal) sense?
