SEMINAR (A Play)

Staring Alan Rickman

Caught the play this afternoon despite the mixed reviews. Rickman is worth seeing no matter what he’s in, so I went on that alone. It’s certainly not Chekov, but it’s very well acted, enjoyable, and honest. And for those of us who aren’t amused by musicals, we’re a little desperate for off broadway content these days. I’ll agree that it seems as though it’s on the verge of being something very special but doesn’t quite make it there. But that said, for anyone who is haunted by artistic pressures, it’s certainly worth seeing, and a good use of time and money.

I don’t feel like I’m writing a ringing endorsement, but I mean to be. And personally I found it timely.
