Impressionism

If you're going to open your play with the two main characters discussing their preference of either muffins or coffee cake with their morning brew, your dialogue had better be sparkling. It's not. In fact the biggest problem with Michael Jacobs' Impressionism is that its main characters can't seem to express themselves as cleverly as the author seems to believe they are. Pseudo-sophisticated urban shorthand abounds in this ninety minute pounding into the brain of the notion that, like an impressionist painting, life is so much clearer when observed from a distance.

Impressionism, the new American play by Michael Jacobs, will close at Broadway's Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre on Sunday May 10 after the matinee performance. It will have played 23 previews and 56 regular performances.
