Slave Play. Not a Movie. A Play.

What a disappointment. Not having seen this play but knowing some of its history, I was truly looking forward to seeing this. But the playwright doesn't seem particularly interested in sharing his work with us. Instead, we get his leading a group of actors through a series of readings filled with far too many jump cuts to form any impression of what's going on. When that doesn't work, he shows the rough cut on a laptop to another group of actors, tosses in clips of the Broadway or off-Broadway production and random shots of porn and old movies that apparently influenced his "play." I was left with the impression his play was controversial, but I knew that before I sat down to watch this.
