Relevance @ MCC (Previews)

I am a big Jayne Houdyshell fan, so Im eagerly awaiting reports on this production that started previews this week.

Tony Award® winner Jayne Houdyshell (The Humans) is Theresa Hanneck, a celebrated author and veteran feminist warrior. Tony® nominee Pascale Armand (Eclipsed) is Msemaji Ukweli, a promising young writer who is quickly becoming the leading cultural critic on race, class, and gender for a new generation. When a heated exchange between the two women goes viral, Theresa finds herself ill-equipped to manage her message in the social media era-especially against a rival whose time may have come. Directed by Tony® nominee Liesl Tommy (Eclipsed), a collision of ideals within the feminist movement propels JC Lee’s riveting drama from breathless start to surprising finish.

Relevance @ MCC (Previews)

I saw this on Saturday.

I enjoyed it while I was watching it, but the more I think about it in retrospect, the less I like it. The debate-heavy dialogue can be very stimulating, and the complex discussions of the problems facing social justice movements are very thought-provoking.

But the play goes off the rails as it progresses, and by the end it just feels like an unwieldy mess, unsure of what it's actually trying to say. It's somehow simultaneously so ambitious yet so spineless - so dense yet so thin.

Jayne Houdyshell is the best part, predictably. It was great to see her lead a play after years of only playing supporting characters.
