Review:
It was a chore to sit through Anne Washburn's murky A Devil at Noon, directed by Steve Cosson of The Civilians. Apparently, some of its Kafka-like episodes involving unexplained and vaguely threatening incidents would make some sort of sense if one were familiar with the science-fiction writings of Philip K. Dick.
The play seems to be taking place in shifting dimensions around an ominous corporation where fictional characters might actually be real. And all those hand movements the actors mimed for making coffee (and who knows what else?) slowed down the show and were most annoying.
