'Distracted' at the American Theater Company
Nevertheless, as much as I was disappointed by the playwright, the American Theatre Company production of "Distracted" is slick. The set is beautiful, maybe a little clinical, playing into the feel of the numerous therapists and doctors Mama goes to for help. The staging in this somewhat unconventional space kept my interest and frankly…the acting was pretty good (great, considering the fact that I didn't like the actual script itself). I have to give special notice in particular to two of the actors, Dina Facklis and Sadieh Rifai. Rifai found levity and humor in the character of Natalie who was darkly out of place in a play that relied so much on its levity. Facklis, who you could probably count all of her lines on your hand, displayed her brilliant comic timing as Vera, Mama's OCD neighbor. Everything she said was a true homerun out of the park. I'm obviously familiar with Facklis' work in the Improv community; however, "Distracted" shows what a sheer pleasure it is to see her on the theatrical stage.
