3.0 out of 5 stars
Very entertaining, but undermines its own themes,
By PolarisDiB "dibness" (Southwest, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told - Acting Edition (Paperback)
This is a play in two parts.
The first is a satirical look at the Christian creation myth, homosexual style. The second is a mostly serious look into a family of gay people (the same characters) in New York City during Christmastime who are still trying to come to terms with their faith(s). It is a very difficult play to pull off, as the two parts are very disjunctive and involve a lot of skill from the actors to pull off, plus a real understanding of it from the director... and neither productions I've seen of this play have had such full coherency. It's difficult because it underminds its own theme. It seems to be an essay on the fact that "We can never really know", and yet it goes in directions that doesn't seem reasonably needed (some of the Ark scenes, for instance). It also focuses a lot on homosexuality and homosexual characters and their approach to life and the like (this play has some very un-PC moments, along with some pretty graphic nudity, even for a movie much less a live show), yet they seem to balance precariously between the stereotypical gay and the less one-dimensional gay. It muddles the dialog and causes some pretty crazy interpretations each time it's produced. Thus, it is a project that must be approached delicately. It still has some really great dialog and is very funny, especially during the first half, but it's a little thick (not deep) and takes a lot of sorting out. --PolarisDiB
