Recommendations of Interventions

  • John Adams: Interventions

    Oh, wow, this one was fun -- but still thought-provoking. Sort of a shorter, funnier, LGBT-ier Back to the Future. The playwright does a great job working in five (yes, five!) very distinct voices into this short piece. The sci-fi themes don't overwhelm, instead letting the focus fall on the humor and the human relations.

  • Franky D. Gonzalez: Interventions

    A hilarious yet ultimately tender piece wherein a couple are visited again and again by time travelers with a dire message about the decisions made by the couple and the consequences that follow. You'll find yourself laughing at the lines and wondering what new message each time traveler will bring with each decision made. Greg Lam is able to take weighty questions that would usually require a lot of emotional commitment from the actors and gives us a smile to go with those questions. It's a lovely play that deserves many productions and new audiences to delight in the words.
