...Strange yet fascinating, Machinal angers, excites and disturbs. One wishes for a more concrete understanding of the stilted dialogue and the odd movements of the actors and actresses, yet the sense of not fully understanding the dynamics of the plot piques the audience's interest. Machinal reinforces the audience's worst suspicions through its oddly lit, sparsely staged and undeveloped emotional tension, for the play suggests that emotions do not matter, and existence is merely a sterilized and mechanical occurrence...

However, apparently everyone with interest opted for tickets to another show, because the crowd was dead at the beginning, dead at the end and only showed signs of excitement briefly in between...

...picture to make way for a fancier enchantress. Unfortunately, Uma Thurman disappoints as Blanche, an Anais Nin wannabe with a fetish for performing geniuses: the amusing concept of her character doesnt justify her time on screen. The period detail, though sumptuously photographed by Chinese cinematographer Zhao Fei, doesnt hold interest on its own.

This contrast illuminates aspects of each artists work that would otherwise be overlooked...

...several full-length evening gowns, each more stylish and chic than the next. With her exaggerated snobbishness, Earls steals the show every time she appears, particularly in her thrilling rendition of "Naughty Baby" and her catfights with both Bobby's mother (Jenn Hyman ??) and Polly. Roth's ultimate love interest is found in Lank Hawkins (Jonathan Steinberger '01), a gun-toting, tough-talking, scene-stealing cowboy, who, along with Ben Kornell '02 as the ever-awkward Moose and Nick Weil '00 as the would-be actor Wyatt, provides some of the funniest moments in "Crazy for You." Irene and Lank...
