#7LOVE by Julia Aplin, Banuta Rubess and the ensemble. Paddock Tavern. Aug 9-12 at 6:30 pm. See listing. Rating: NN
A show about love featuring lots of talented actors and dancers? Performed at the Paddock Theatre? Sounds like a no-brainer. Alas, this scattered, rambling show resembles an improv exercise more than a completed show.
A dozen or so labcoat-clad performers ask us to fill out surveys about love before launching into a series of vignettes based on real-life interviews with people aged 7 to 97. The results are neither profound nor theatrically interesting, and the uneven cast overacts, perhaps to make up for the paltry material.
