Engagements

Tonight David and I saw the World Premiere of Engagements by Lucy Teitler at Barrington Stage 2. It is a quirky, funny, sort of sad play about Millennials in and out of love. It reminded me a bit of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. All the wrong people falling in love and then waking up to what has happened.

It opens at an engagement party for Allison who is planning to marry Mark. Allison is played by Kate Loprest and Mark by Robert David Grant.

At the party is Lauren, played by Amanda Quaid, Allison's best friend and Bridesmaid to be. Through some lively action, she winds up going to bed with Mark.

Well- you get the idea.

Adam Gerber

 Into their lives come Ryan, played by Adam Gerber, and Catherine, Phoebe Strole. The confusion mounts through very lively dialogue and action resulting with no one marrying the person they came with.

The playwright has put together a very amusing first play. We enjoyed it.
