THEATER REVIEW: ‘A Body of Water’ plays in Shakespeare & Company’s Roman Garden Theatre through July 21
Written by Lee Blessing, directed by James Warwick. Lee Blessing’s play “A Body of Water” is not about water; nor is it about any sort of a body. It is a mystery without a murder, a relationship without communication, a family with no center. It is a unique experience without parallel. It is fascinating. A man and a woman (Kevin O’Rourke and Bella Merlin) wake up together in a strange bed in a strange room, each regarding the other as a stranger. They have had a strange experience that neither can recall. It is all a vague non-memory, but the coffee is good—though they can’t recall who made it. As they struggle through all this, they realize that not only do they not know each other, they don’t recognize themselves. And why are they surrounded by this beautiful body of water? There are answers to come, but are they answers or merely more questions?
