| "The most incendiary plays, perhaps, come just before and after intermission. Matt Freeman's What To Do To A Girl has a terrific premise: a professor at a boys' prep school is giving his new students a lecture/demonstration on the eponymous subject, with a live woman, clad only in brassiere, panties, and spike heels, serving as a teaching aid. The professor calmly orders her to remove her garments and then uses a classroom pointer to direct his charges' attention to the various body parts he speaks about. It could be a scathing and scary deconstruction of objectification, but Freeman and director Ancowitz seemed to pull away from the idea, veering into jokiness on the one hand and Freeman's trademark (and pertinent) social commentary on the other. Cat Johnson gives an intelligent performance as the woman, with Matthew Trumbull quite funny as the slightly demented teacher and Joseph Yeargain as a student helper." - nytheatre.com | |||||
