Campaign Outsider Utterly Useless Theater Review (pat. pending)

Useless because the play ended its run yesterday.

Regardless, I have to say something about Bill Cain’s 9 Circles, which Publick Theatre Boston has presented for the past three weeks at the South End’s Boston Centre for the Arts.

But first, here’s Cain talking about last year’s production at Marin Theatre Company:

 

Publick Theatre Boston mounted its own terrific production, with compelling performances by Amanda Collins and Will McGarrahan and an absolutely riveting one by Jimi Stanton, who plays the American soldier court-martialed and executed (in an unforgettable scene) for the rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl in Iraq.

I just wish I had seen it sooner so I could have told you sooner.

    I’ll have to take your word for it. (and why wouldn’t I?). That video was about the most uselessly generic thing I’ve ever seen–a bunch of artsy commonplaces that could be plopped in front of just about any play or movie I’ve ever seen.

      Fair enough, Bob. It was the best I could find.

        Sorry, I didn’t mean to be so harsh. My coffeemaker broke down this morning, and the video was my first target of opportunity.
        All I meant that while your description intrigued me, none of the people in the video really seemed like they were talking about any specific play.

        No problem, Bob. You were right about the video.
