Description
As the entertainment for their titular anniversary celebration, at which the audience members are the guests, a former ballerina and her husband shed their shabby nursing-home garb to become their younger selves and reenact the events that led up to their current marital state. In Jesse Weaver's syncopated, esoteric deconstruction of the perils of lifelong couplehood, the playwright proves himself a sure hand at crafting dazzling language and even manages to incorporate a certain nongrating whimsy. But at the end of his new one-act, it's still not clear what Weaver is after, despite the sound and fury in Matt Hawkins's handsomely gaudy production.—CP
