Reviewing theater from Broadway to the Fringe since 1994
In ‘Delirium’ She and He seem to care only about themselves and, occasionally, each other. They are flawed, but they are honest with one another. The world around them is full of violence, fear, and loss so they use conflict to create connection and imagination to escape reality.
On the surface, two plays, both two-handers running through June 28, have much in common. They both center on men and women seeking second chances at connection after suffering through previous unhealthy relationships. Yet, for all their similarities, In Old Age (Front Porch Arts Collective) and Frankie & Johnny in the Clair de Lune (Psych Drama Company) couldn’t be more different.
