Description
There is great vitality, musicality and verbal invention in Tarell Alvin McCraney’s abstract, Louisiana-set fables, presented in repertory at the Public. The folksy material is abstract yet earthy; dream sequences and lyrical monologues rub elbows with ribald humor. But McCraney overwrites, and his fusion of African and American folkways undermines both. He aims for archetypes but—despite passionate performances from an appealing cast— ends up with shrill, verbose stereotypes, wandering through a vague mythopoetic landscape.
