Dylan downimg4/16/2023 ![]() ![]() In The Christians (Alley, 2016) we struggled with faith’s incongruency with modern America. ![]() Like all his plays, Hnath presents us with a quandary. The one thing that would ever bring him success. Peter went to law school and Ray dropped out of school to swim. Poor in America - a kind of blight they survived. Photo by Christian Brown After all, he and his brother grew up with nothing. And if he’s going to qualify for the Olympics, secure his Speedo deal, ensure his coach gets his due and pave a path of financial windfall for his brother, he needs the enhancement. Have been all along in his meteoric rise to the top. Sweet as all get-up, speaking in a monosyllabic cheerful burst of yeah, good and OK, Ray seems like a puppet in all this competition nonsense. What does Ray think? Does Ray think at all? On the scale of Michael Phelps to Ryan Lochte, Ray is about two steps behind Lochte in the brains department. A real coup for a swimmer this early in his career. Ray is so close, why spoil it now? Especially when Peter is about to land a swimsuit sponsorship with Speedo for his brother. Reporting them could taint the entire team and his phenom brother’s very real chances of qualifying for the Olympics the following day. He thinks the drugs belong to one of his lesser swimmers and feels a moral obligation to abide by the rules.Ĭonversely, Peter wants the drugs flushed. Performance-enhancing drugs have been found on the premises and Coach wants to report the violation to the governing body. His aggressive, fast-talking lawyer/manager brother Peter (Dylan Pierce) and his Coach (Brian Broome) are going at it. An indication that his grasp on matters outside the pool may be limited. There’s an argument going on about him, one he pays not much mind to, occupied instead with goofily clearing his ears of water. We are in an elite practice swimming club, the kind that turns out Olympic contenders.Īfter doing a few impressive laps and some handstands for fun, Ray (Alejandro Meza) buoyantly hoists himself up on the ledge of the pool as though gravity doesn’t apply to him. Hallelujah Houston, immersive theater is back! Thanks to Lucas Hnath’s short but punchy play about ambition, values and what it means to win, we find ourselves inhaling wafts of chlorine and watching filter-propelled ripples as we sit on folding chairs encircling the impressive indoor pool that comprises the show’s setting. ![]() A full-length honest-to-goodness deep and impressive lap pool, that is, and our promise that we wouldn't sue if we happened to fall in. Nothing to do with poisoning the pool of the show, this time it was about not falling into the pool. However, this time the waiver wasn’t just for me, it was meant for everyone in attendance. Once in a blue moon, we’re asked to sign forms promising not to give away this or that crucial plot point or some other kind of experience-killing detail. Not an entirely unusual request for a critic. So said the lovely young woman who greeted me as I arrived to see Red Speedo, presented by On The Verge Theatre. Goldman, I’m going to need you to sign this waiver before you go into the show”.
