Kimberly Ramírez takes a blook at Shit. Meet. Fan. at MCC Theater:
Shit. Meet. Fan., the latest production at MCC's Newman Mills Theater, presents a promising premise: a satirical dramatization of white privilege, toxic masculinity, and social façades. Adapted by award-winning writer-director Robert O'Hara from the successful Italian film Perfect Strangers, the play employs a provocative parlor-game formula that also recalls great American dramas by Albee and Crowley. But any potential for emotional impact in Shit. Meet. Fan. feels buried beneath a barrage of indulgent banter, leaving the audience wondering whether this adaptation critiques or celebrates the behavior it portrays. |
