Ahead of the spring Broadway revival of his Tony-winning 2003 baseball play 'Take Me Out,' Richard Greenberg premieres his new comedy about conflict between two upscale New York families at a wedding, 'The Perplexed'
, among others. Featuring a terrific cast including several veteran performers, the production boasts scenic design by Santo Loquasto, who has created the sort of incredibly detailed, impossibly gorgeous set that immediately inspires real estate envy.
We're introduced to ten characters representing two families, and good luck attempting to quickly figure out who's who and their various relationships. The nuptials, which for some reason are to take place at midnighta cocktail reception and dinner, involve twentysomethings Isabelle and Caleb . Their respective families had a falling out many years earlier, for reasons that, like so much else in the play, go unexplained.
Audience members are likely to share that detachment, since very little of consequence happens during the course of the lengthy proceedings except talk. Lots and lots of talk. Of course, plays generally consist of little else, but usually the dialogue has the purpose of advancing the plot or providing character definition. Here, it does little of either.
