Sam Shepard's HEARTLESS (SPOILERS)

This is one of the biggest pieces of garbage that I have had the displeasure of seeing in many years. If this play was submitted to a theatre company having been written by anyone other than a celebrity author, it would have never, ever been produced. Do not waste twenty five dolalrs, or twenty five cents on this pretentious load of crap.

Sincere thanks to Tom-497 who clarified A LOT for me. It's a tough play, but a fascinating one. I felt like it was a mysterious first act that led to a downright confusing second. But at the same time, I wasn't willing to write off the play and felt there was an internal logic that I was missing pieces of. The comments on the banshee screams in particular connected a lot of the dots for me. A more sophisticated explanation of the play than I was capable of, and I appreciate the take.

I've heard some pretty wretched things about it. I wanted to see it and try not to judge something while still in previews, but I've lost a lot of interest considering my friends said it literally makes no sense.

I wasn't crazy about it. I reviewed it here: http://scribicide.com/2012/08/27/what-moment-does-resurrection-choose/

The play is weak but diverting with occasional strong moments. Jenny Bacon, however, is wonderful in it.

Mainly forgettable, except for the nurse's silent scream, as genuinely powerful and alarming as the rest of the play wasn't.
