What an awful play.
If you have the chance to go see the play, “The Fever” by Wallace Shawn, avoid that chance. It is a one man show that lasts an hour and forty-five minutes of pure tedium. He takes five minutes to describe opening up a package that has no consequence to the monologue.
I think the author was trying to give an opinion on communism and morality. But there was no plot so there was nothing interesting to pay attention to. The person two over fell asleep until his girlfriend poked him awake.
What irks me the most is that it got a standing ovation! Even the snoozer got up to applaud. I hate standing ovations, they feel like an inquisition. If you don’t stand an applaud you obviously aren’t one of us! You stick out, even if you choose to sit and clap.
Needless to say, I remained seated.
I like my plays to have plot, and my music to have a melody.
