Peter Fechter: 59 Minutes
Theatre by the River—The Rocker
I really enjoyed Theatre by the River’s Peter Fechter: 59 minutes last night, and yes, it does last exactly 59 minutes.
It’s a terrific script and performance that makes great use of the space. I do have a very tiny quibble that I am sure most people will see as overly pedantic. The character in the play is a well-read, intellectual young man, but either he or the actor do not know the distinction between transitive and intransitive regarding “lie” and “lay.” It happened twice. It just doesn’t fit the character, and I know that I would not be the only person to cringe inwardly when it happens.
That quibble aside, it’s an outstanding theatrical experience.
