BWW Review: LIFE SUCKS. at The Wild Project
A month ago I saw Austin Pendleton portray a teacher on Broadway in the fine play Choir Boy. Now he is the elderly Professor with a much younger third wife. They are visiting with Sonia and Uncle Vanya in this adaptation of Chekhov's play. Right from the start, the cast informs that LIFE SUCKS. is about love and longing, true to the spirit of its source material. The Professor notes 'it's also about the audacious, ludicrous and protean nature of the obstreperous and ever-feckless human heart.' Vanya points out 'he has a penchant for sesquipedalian elocution.' Fans of word play will lick their chops listening to some of this dialogue.
