BWW Review: ANIMALS at Williamstown Theatre Festival On Audible Theater

Directed by Obie Award Winner, Whitney White, the piece is billed as a comedy that “marches into the muddy intersection of romantic entanglement, identity, pride, and survival.”  For me the piece is something like the theatrical (verbal) equivalent of a mixed doubles tennis match. There are lots of volley’s, some overhead smashes and an occasional Ace leaving the recipient unable to respond but stinging none the less.  The four characters engage in relatively rapid-fire banter that includes a fair amount of intensity and emotion.  The subject matter often deals with sensitive issues that include political correctness, cancel culture, race, roles, and even some romance.  The dialogue is real, sometimes raw, rarely funny.  The piece packs a lot of drama and emotion, but not much oomph, sizzle, or pizazz.
