A Life by Adam Bock

This show starts off feeling like a one-man show. The actor addresses the audience and rambles about his love life and explains astrology (yawn) and one is desperately wondering if this is ever going to lead to anything until, suddenly, there is an actual scene with a second actor. This is far from salvation, however, because the talk continues to stutter and ramble, punctuated only by the ogling of men jogging in the park. Then we are back to the single actor and....he dies. Yep. Having developed no attachment to him, the main character dies on us and we spend the rest of the play listening to coroners and friends and other people having random rambling conversations in the vicinity of his dead body until there is a blinding white light...The End. That may be what life is, but a compelling play it does not make.
