Enjoyed this show very much. The variety was welcome and both actors obviously
put a lot of work into their pieces. Unfortunately, I have to make some
comments about Robin Plutchok's monologue. She didn't keep my interest.
Yes, her writing is intelligent and detailed, but the story wallowed and
oozed too much for my taste. Another related problem was her overly sincere,
emotionally one-dimensional delivery. How can I trust the touching moments
when the whole thing is gushing romance or betrayed romance? Where is the
real Robin Plutchok in it all? Instead of the affected voice of Robin Plutchok?
Ambitious effort but make me pay attention more with stronger content and
more personal risks.
I recommend the show overall because the variety is fun. Nils Vaule had
me in stiches and Robin Plutchok makes a strong effort that has some clever
moments.

marsh.

Two performers split the hour.
Plutchok has learned her genre, compressing a years-long relationship into autobiographical performance. She acts the private moments which tell the whole story. She describes herself, and judges herself, honestly. Often, she seems to be describing us, too. (The Ecuadorian that she traveled with should sneak into the back of the theater. He'd learn what people don't often learn -- what it is they meant to another person.)
Vaule's bits are something completely different. His car monologue is about cars. About pencils and family basketball, however, he writes monologues that no one else has, touching on some common joys and fears. He closes with a rant of thoughts every artist has had about art.
Addendum:
I reviewed the show I saw last night, "Tripping on the Equator,"
but I
forgot to mention one of the things that made it interesting, one of the
reasons people might want to go.
If you can, please change the third sentence of my review to read, "She
acts
the private moments which tell the whole story, sometimes in Spanish."
