The âm hộ giả mua ở đâu actor John Keating is a tall bag of bones with fright-wig hair and frightened-deer eyes, a glance designed for character pieces. That he nabs the direct part in Laoisa Sexton’s “The Pigeon while in the Taj Mahal” in the Irish Repertory Theater is purpose sufficient to find out it, even when the Participate in’s protracted execution wears out the prickly appeal of its premise.
Mr. Keating plays the Pigeon from the title, a sweater-clad, Elvis-quoting naïfile who life in the trailer park in rural Ireland. Is he lonesome tonight? Not precisely. But he’s Evidently thrilled to find a younger lady in smeared makeup and ripped tulle dumped on his doorstep. “You've got the unusual beauty,” he suggests to her unconscious form. “Like a swan inside of a dirty lake!” This is often Lolly (Ms. Sexton), a plastered bride-to-be overdosed on vodka and physique glitter. On waking, she first threatens Pigeon which has a hammer and after that softens at his odd hospitality.
After Lolly is more or less awake, Ms. Sexton has good entertaining contrasting her shallow town types with Pigeon’s callow means. “D’you bought iPhone, d’you need to do?” she whines. “I cellphone?” the perplexed Pigeon asks. But as they continue to be during the trailer, the Participate in starts to spin its motionless wheels. There’s a great deal of dialogue and plenty of depredation, Specially once One more bachelorette (Zoë Watkins) arrives, but owning put these characters with each other, Ms. Sexton and the director, Alan Cox, don’t know quite what to do with them. Irrespective of a persistent concept of innocence and working experience, and a few questions on the location of folklore in present-day Ireland, “The Pigeon in the Taj Mahal” largely looks like a one-act that outgrew by itself. Rather less dialogue wouldn’t damage.
But motion concerns Ms. Sexton far lower than furnishing a vigorous, often vulgar showcase for herself and one other actors. A deft performer, she Plainly enjoys Lolly’s woozy, crude obliviousness, but she's just as joyful to cede the phase to Mr. Keating. Pigeon isn’t an entirely credible character, but Mr. Keating lends him warmth and a gentle form of bravery, even although donning lipstick in addition to a penis headband. Cheers to Ms. Sexton for permitting this exclusive actor spread his wings.
