đ˝NYC: MONTAG by Kate Tarker, directed by Dustin Wills presented by Soho Rep
âDonât. Panic. Stay. Calm. Everything in this room is a weapon or a shield.â Faith and Novella are best friends living in a small German town near an American military base. In Novellaâs basement apartment, theyâre practicing some unusual combat drillsâarmed with wine, potato chips, and the very best speakers they can afford. Montag is a domestic thriller, a sleep deprivation comedy, and a rebellion celebration under threat of annihilation.
Soho Rep just extended MONTAG through November 20 and you must see it. Itâs one of the more thrilling pieces of theatre Iâve seen since the shutdown. Itâs smart, funny, wild, and scaryâand I LOVE a scary play. Itâs not scary-movie scaryâin fact, one of the most brilliant aspects of the play is how it avoids glorifying the kind of violence it abhors.
Actors Nadine Malouf and Ariana Venturi give two of the best performances Iâve ever seen, period. They are a model of actors in sync, working together so tightly thatâcliche as it soundsâthey didnât feel like actors. I felt like a voyeur, watching these two women in their private space together, the tension of the outside world growing and pressing in on the room.
Itâs a special one. Donât miss it!
