Pick of the Week
Love Song @ ArtsWest
Love Song, which has only been open for one day, already has a lot of good buzz going. A post-opening night commenter on the West Seattle blog raved "The performances of the four actors are better than any I have seen...[Love Song] is absolutely amazing!"
From a review of the Melbourne production "Love Song is hardly profound, and it manipulates your emotions in much the same way as a good pop song. But there's nothing wrong with that, when it's as well achieved as it is here: it doesn't insult your intelligence, and can even touch the edge of something true."
A funny, deftly written play that aims (in the playwright's words) for your "squashy middle" but still manages to make you feel smart? Yes, please.
Recommended for people ages 15 and up.
