2009.5.24. Below the Belt

ACT. Judd Hirsch, John Procaccino and R. Hamilton Wright in this farcical skewering of globalized corporate culture. Somewhere, in an anonymous factory cranking out units of some unnamed product, three men try to maintain some semblance of humanity and self despite a crushingly conformist and hypermasculine bureaucracy. Witty yet bitter dialogs. This play of Richard Dresser's was premiered in 1996. Taken from his own work experiences in the factories in his earlier days. Still rings disconcertingly familiar. Great actors. Clear articulation.
