Description
Elaine May's Hotline, with its venomously unhappy hooker and the hopelessly earnest volunteer at the suicide hotline that she periodically phones, is sitcom satire of the kind Ms. May and Mike Nichols made justly famous. Desperate and stuck characters push and pull at each other's neuroses, somehow managing to goad each other into a kind of intimacy, however silly or tenuous it may be...leaving the audience in stitches.
Woody Allen’s Central Park West brings together lost souls and blind beasts, including Phyllis, a smart, overbearing analyst; Sam, her compulsive philanderer-husband; Carol, her shrewd if shallow friend; and Carol's cuckolded husband, Howard, a small, bespectacled manic-depressive who once wrote a novel. The prettiest beast of all is Juliet, the lissome young would-be film editor who shares the others' neurotic misery but has been spared both their age and experience. This is psychoanalytic bedroom farce, and there is plenty to laugh and wince at. These people have neglected or deceived one another; now, led by the avenging analyst, they pay one another back, trading lethal truths and accusations as only those who have been in therapy for years or lived together in unalterable discontent for years can.
Renee Taylor and Joseph Bologna's comedy The Brooklyn Italian Family provides some of the funniest moments of these three one-acts. Perhaps the best lines belong to Richie’s Italian-American parents, Frank and Bea, who are relentlessly trying to persuade Richie and his wife, Joan, not to get divorced. These beautifully written characters by Taylor and Bologna make you feel at home…in an Italian Brooklyn home, that is.
Directed by David Danino.
