James Wilson takes a look at Fingers and Spoons at SoHo Playhouse:
Eating disorders, adolescent trauma, motherhood, and managing an acting career are just some of the topics explored in Fingers and Spoons, the one-person show written and performed by Pascale Roger-McKeever and now playing at SoHo Playhouse. The guiding motif, though, in the play that is subtitled "The Ins and Outs of an Open Marriage" is best summed up by the writer/performer's pithy description: "Sex after 40." While Roger-McKeever should be commended for her frank and vivid descriptions of sexual roleplay, near orgasms, and depilatory practices, the evening might be considered the theatrical equivalent of an episode of "The Real Housewives of [Fill in the Blank]." That is, without the delicious snark and vicious infighting. |
