In the audience for this play, I felt the way I do at most meetings--something ridiculous is happening, I'm on the outside (AND inside), surreality is reaching a breaking point and I don't think the people who called the meeting even know why we're here. And (I think) those feelings are completely as Reich intends. Yes, meetings have gotten out of hand. This play too gets out of hand--in a riotous, delicious, laugh-from-the-gut way that helps me reconsider what in heck we're doing together when another meeting gets called...and what I might do differently--laugh, for instance.
