The script was weak, the acting uneven. The overall pacing of the production was very slow. Turns out the woman who wrote the script also Directed and starred in it...never a good idea and usually screams "vanity production". The theatre itself was so cozy and sweet; a very nice space in the heart of WeHo.
As a queer comedy, this play definitely made the audience giggle, especially the anti-LBD (Lesbian Bed Death) scene in the middle. As a queer drama, things got a little bit iffy-issues of being the lovers being cross-cultural (Cuban and Chicana), having a big age gap, and commitment all went mostly untouched. I was disappointed by the predicatable, unrealistic ending, and wished the play had been developed further. It seemed a bit rushed. Lovestruck has lots of potential to be an excellent play, though.
I feel the play was very enjoyable and I would love to see it again.
