Overview
Jan. 29--Scotland Road is performed in one act and lasts only 85 minutes, and those are the two best things I can say about it. The prolific playwright Jeffrey Hatcher would have done well to toss it before showing it to anyone in 1993, after he wrote it. But it somehow made its way to Ambler, where Act II Playhouse is trying, and failing, to make sense of it. If Hatcher's play -- which unfolds on Melissa Guyer's suitably cloying, gray set, to the background of Matthew Aaron's unsuitably foreboding music -- is an allegory for something, he hasn't dropped a clue. If it's an examination of who's authentic and who's not -- the only theme that makes even a passing appearance in Scotland Road -- it's a muddled one; how can you examine authenticity in a play that is itself a fraud? Wait a minute... maybe that's the point. Written by Jeffrey Hatcher, directed by Stephen Blumenthal, set by Melissa Guyer, costumes by Jessica Risser-Milne, lighting by James Leitner, sound by Matthew Aaron. Presented by Act II Playhouse.
