“Mrs. Sorken” kicks
off the year at the
Pocket Playhouse
“Mrs. Sorken” offers
an ensemble of performers
and humorous narratives
Theater review
Aaron Shakra
Pulse Reporter
The Pocket Playhouse is a venue
that allows University students to
showcase any theater work they wish
to: originals, classics, musicals, old
plays, new plays and so on. If “Mrs.
Sorken Presents Durang” is repre
sentative of the offer- —
ings selected for this
school year, it should
be an interesting sea
son, indeed.
The aptly-titled
play was a small-scale
production (given the
size of the venue, per
haps this is hard to
avoid) — minimal
props and lighting,
black curtains and
walls. Scenes might
better be called
“sketches.” They were loosely con
nected by an ensemble of actors and
themes of miscommunication, an
noyance, understanding and super
ficiality. There wasn’t much conclu
sion or movement to any of the
narratives, but in this context, it
doesn’t really matter.
“Mrs. Sorken,” the first scene, was a
one-woman monologue with actress
Katie Plein. She slyly addressed the au
dience on theater, Dionysius, the
Greeks and the etymology of drama.
Perhaps as a nod to the University
"If 'Mrs, Sorken
Presents Du rang'is
representative of the
offerings selected for
this school year, it
should be an
interesting season,
indeed."
Theatre department, there was a ref
erence to the Tony Kushner play “An
gels in America” — a production
mounted by the department earlier
this year. The best line: “We go to the
theater desperate for photosynthesis.”
The “Funeral Parlor” sketch — in
which a bereaved widow is consoled by
the unlikeliest of loudmouths, played
by Scott Stewart — was especially no
table. For a while, this scene could have
been played for a predictably slapstick
or sitcom-ish ending, but it avoided
such contrivances.
“Business Lunch at the Russian
Tea Room was
probably the
most directly
brutal of the
arrangements.
The stage was
split in a way
that the viewer
has to imagine
two separate set
tings: a house
and a restaurant.
Here, a play
wright meets
— with a Holly
wood agent-type
woman, whose dialogue is appropri
ately over the top. She spouts lines
such as: “Although I’m not married, I
like having affairs with black men
and move on from one to the next.”
The production was directed by
Leigh Cook; running time clocked in at
just under an hour. The play’s program
lists “scenes by Christopher Durang”
which perhaps indicates the content
has an autobiographical nature.
