At the Wedding at LCT3

Critics Pick from Jesse Green and his review has piqued my interest.

"Though it’s not by a long shot the first time a comedy has mined the nuptials-with-an-ex-to-grind setup, Bryna Turner’s "At the Wedding," which opened on Monday at the Claire Tow Theater, offers a fresh and trenchant take on the genre. And in Carlo, the bruised heart of the story, it offers the actor Mary Wiseman, with her curly red mop piled high like a lesbian Lucy, a brilliant showcase for her split-level comic genius."

Jesse gets excited about things so randomly, I guess it depends on the week he's having. It was a fresh take but it wasn't great. 

I agree it could have been a little longer, but I disagree about things feeling “underdeveloped”. I loved how it gave the audience leeway to fill in some of the blanks. Like the only character you need that specificity from is Carlo and you get that…the other characters come into her sphere and therefore you only need the info as to how they affect her in the past, in the moment and for Eva in the future. I think the point of a script like this is to inject a certain level of queerness into a rather “mundane” or “everyday” occurrence like a wedding and have that be normalized and not commented on. I found that very satisfying and refreshing. And Mary Wiseman…I mean she is brilliant…funny and heartbreaking and everything in between in just 70min. 

I didn't like it as well. I WAS so bored
