Hopper Project

Last night I attended a reading of the latest version of WNEPs The (edward) Hopper Project. Got to say, I REALLY enjoyed it. I think it's a clever concept, and it's very well written. Despite a couple of shakey transitions and awkward narratives, the characters are mesmerizing! I feel a little bit in love with most of them. Their struggles are not over-dramatic or understated, they are just right. It belongs to that group of plays whose realism is just right. Though I'm sure Don would kick my ass for saying this- I think it falls somewhere between Our Town and Undermilkwood, minus the poetry and the BOREDOM. RIGHT ON! Can't wait to see how this one turns out. Two thumbs up so far Don and WNEP!
