| Description |
Jan, a childless suburban wife is dumped for a younger woman and now resolutely starting out on her own. (That is, if the Mini inherited from her ex-husband Arnold would only get up and go.) She is a real, funny, complex person, but she's the only character seen in the round, and the play cannot achieve the depth and delicacy of Stretchmarks on the strength of this alone…. The strength of Delahunty's wrtitng is in message-to-the audience through the means of sympathetic irony… I felt that the play did not achieve integrity as a combnation of modes, that is as a serious comedy… The Mini miraculosly is revealed to have a heart, will and life as well as a used-up body of its own. |
