Our American Theater presents Sam Shepard's Eyes for Consuela at Theatre Off Jackson. Adapted in 1998 from Octavio Paz's The Blue Bouquet. In fact, the short story was only the beginning of Shepard's play. Through dialogs between I and HE, Shepard adds the circumstances why they are there, why there is a demand for the blue bouquet. Shepard tries to explore more concrete themes, like love, memory, possession, alienation, and being an American. A little too much to explore in 2 hours.
Good acting. Very simple stage, but enough.
