A review by lou_prnts
Seminar by Theresa Rebeck
3.0
(kind of spoiler-ish)
what's annoying is that i really really enjoyed it, i loved acting out the dialogues and everything; but the characterization of the women... what was the point? that whole thing about izzy and the "sexy asian", kate being possibly in love with martin, them both having sex with leonard felt just?? so irrelevant??? maybe this is what happens in writing seminars what do i know but it just felt out of the blue and took me out of it so many times
ok edit: if this was about women being empowered through sexuality... it did not work on me AT ALL; maybe if the story was more focused on izzy and kate, and not being always described through... kind of the men? ik technically it was a play so no narrator, but the audience only knew what the men knew: we learn through douglas that izzy had sex with leonard and it gets confirmed through martin's deception (the confirmation), we had no idea izzy would be interested in martin but we know that he did, we learn through martin that kate had sex with leonard.... am i making sense?
