Nineteen Cows Leaving Beirut
I love theater. Really. But sometimes I see shows that make my soul cry. This one came awfully close. A parody? Commentary? Satire? On the No Child Left Behind Act this play follows a struggling teen and the girl that, for some reason, loves him. Something happens to them…they get captured by the government or something. I don’t really know. All I remember is a violent ending whose profundity was completely unearned by the grade-school antics that drove the show up to that point.
