Re: "Desire" Review Roundup

4 out of 4 stars from USA Today:

http://www.usatoday.com/life/theater/reviews/2009-04-30-desire-accent_N.htm

"The consequences, which nod to Greek tragedy, are devastating for both men, and
for Abbie. Falls, who first helmed this production for Chicago's Goodman
Theatre, and his superb cast — anchored by a heart-stopping Carla Gugino —
parlay that pain into one of this season's most brutal and rewarding
experiences.

Gugino has movingly played bruised women on stage in Arthur Miller's After the
Fall and Tennessee Williams' Suddenly Last Summer, but nothing will have
prepared audiences for the depth and ferocity of her work here. Her Abbie is at
once unrelentingly sensual and fiercely practical, a canny seductress and a
creature so wounded and desperate that we ache for her. She turns to Pablo
Schreiber's strapping, brooding Eben for solace as much as anything, though
their sexual chemistry is electric."

... Yes, it's a shame that the play itself and especially Carla got no Tony nomination. Even more that this might be also a reason for the play closing earlier...

... "Desire" will be closing six weeks early, on Sunday, May 24. If you haven't seen it, buy your tickets now - you won't regret it. ...
