Kimberly RamÃrez takes a look at Table 17 at MCC Theater:
When you enter the Frankel Theater at the Robert W. Wilson MCC Theater Space, the ushers seem a bit like hosts seating you inside a vibrant, trendy restaurant. Some audience members take places onstage at tables for two, but every patron's program is stuffed with a menu insert, suggesting that we are all guests at "Bianca's." It's a playful, immersive setting for Table 17, a world premiere from the creators of Chicken & Biscuits. This new collaboration between playwright Douglas Lyons and director Zhailon Levingston explores love, loss, self-realization, and the possibility of rekindling old flames. |
