Review # 2 was written on 2021-01-02 00:00:00 Debbie Losch This play is worth reading just for Savage's character alone. One of my favorite characters in the world of theatre. She pushes boundaries and challenges your mind and how you think. The play as a whole is not incredibly memorable as I cannot remember the movement of the plot or what happens in the end, but I remember Savage like she is an actual person I used to know. Perhaps that is because I see myself in her, but isn't that the fun of theatre? Worth the read. This is my favorite of Savage's monologues. Incredible. She delivers it after she is asked what it feels like to be a virgin. Powerful. "I feel strong. Like I'm wearing chains and I could snap 'em any time. I feel ready. I go to work and I feel like I could take over the company, but I just type. I go home and I see my mother in her chair and I feel like I could pick her up with one hand and chuck her out the window and roll up the rug and throw a big party. Everybody's invited. I go to the library and I wanna take the books down off the shelves and open all the books on the tables and argue with everybody about ideas. I wanna think out loud. I wanna think out loud with other people. You know what's wrong with everybody? Too smart. I know it sounds crazy. I know. But it's true. Everybody's too smart. It's like everybody knows everything and everybody argued everything and everything got hashed out and settled the day before I was born. It's not fair. They know about gravity so nobody ever talks about gravity. It's a dead issue! Look at me. My feet are stuck to the f*cking floor. Fantastic. But no. That's gravity. Forget it. It's been done it's been said it's been thought so f*ck it. It's not fair. I've been shut outta everything that mighta been good by a smartness around that won't let me think not one new thing. And it's been like that with love too. You're a little kid and you see the movies and you talk to your parents and you definitely talk to your friends and then you know, right? So you go ahead and you do love. And something a what somebody told you in a movie or in your ear is what love is. And where the f*ck are you then, that's what I wanna know? Where the f*ck are you when you've done love, and you can point to love, and you can name it, and love is the same as gravity the same as everything else and everything else is a totally dead f*cking issue?"
