“Broadway is back!” responded in the just-concluded star-studded theater season – the 78th Tony Awards, reflecting excitement, proves that the 40-carat name that once filled the Hollywood sound phase is now igniting Max in New York. Denzel Washington, Mia Farrow, Jake Gyllenhaal, George Clooney and Hugh Jackman are just in-person box office baits for tickets sold this year. Now it’s time to add another name to the Welcome Mat.
I’m talking about John Krasinski A quiet place and it, Add dozens of popular series, including Jack Ryan and office. He appeared on stage once a few years ago with Claire Danes in a small and short-lived role, but now he obviously decided he needed to earn more prestigious credit in his prestigious business, so he returned to a single car called. Angry Allen, Not in a mainstream Broadway theater, but in a small Broadway home called Studio Seaview. Never heard of this post office venue fans packing up every night and seeing something unusual – not a drama at all, but an 85-minute chat marathon without interruption, the film actors seized the rare opportunity to explore a range of emotions, expressions, expressions, emotions, emotions, emotions, emotions, emotions, emotions, attitudes and opinions, reversals on vulnerable roles, role reversals and gender reversals and gender mirrors and gendered boys face to face. Chewed big, Krasinski can do it without ketchup.

The show is directed by Sam Gold, who says a lot about women who succeed, which is amazing because it is written by Penelope Skinner, a woman whose feminist observations are witty enough to entertain (but not always classified enough to convince). Mr. Krasinski, as the target of enough feminist agendas to require orthopedic surgery, plays a man named Roger—once a skirt chaser but now, approaching middle age, just a frustrated shadow of the man he used to be—depressed, disillusioned, deflated, demoted from an important corporate job that used to define him, divided from an ex-wife, Suzanne, who understand him and also elevated His parents are so distant from their father about the status of a 14-year-old son that neither of them talks to each other for eight months. Roger also has a new girlfriend competition, Courtenay, who seems to be the perfect, understanding and compatibility center of his troubled existence until she falls into the influence of a pack of gal pal and becomes… (this is Roger’s most hated word)…liberation. Watch football games, share beer and enjoy a quiet dinner at home, become self-indulgent people like eating pickles, wasting time on social media, drinking oat milk and building a career, taking art classes, drawing naked male models while wearing a T-shirt reading “with mediocre white confidence.” None of these characters appear anywhere except for the explosion images on the wall. I twitched nervously for the rest of the show while Roger fell deeply into the growing anger and pain of modern women’s hypocrisy (according to the author, not me). They want equality, the focus is on domination, but they also love Fifty Shades of Gray.
No one appears in his name Angry Allen. He is a cynical gender defender with a website and YouTube channel dedicated to distracting advice, information and negative emotions to understand that modern men reduce their women’s decline in the internet political order of the new world, and the decline of these women has reduced their paranoid neurologic drugs. Roger is his obsessed with students and followers, warnings about rape statistics, unemployment, injustice in the family court system and the frustrations that men face when they are forced to play the role of marital scapegoats and financial providers, but not allowed but not allowed or displayed vulnerability. Roger finally made his peace there with the hurt and humiliation of being a person in a gender-chaotic society, and no one was sure what a person should be in the first place, and it seemed that he would find satisfaction in the end. But then, as the script approaches the final curtain, the ultimate shattering of his principles causes him to beat him from his prep Florsheim shoes. In an awkward ending, they enter a scene in which Roger’s monosyllable son arrives on an unexpected visit and sheds light on his secret desire for gender change. Just as Roger thought he finally figured out how the strategy worked between genders, his entire world collapsed again.
The father strives to limit himself by convincing him to a man with a penis to wear clothes, but his son’s new habits include reluctance to use specific pronouns, and he believes Roger is hopeless anti-Dilivian. Roger’s realization that he will never have a perfect son, but everyone goes out, and he’s alone, ready to surrender, letting the angry Alan be his mentor as his mentorship for the rest of his life. Finally happy. Or him?
Sadly, his wit is not sharp, ironic or painful to keep up with the times. But the drama is not. Hundreds of awareness-raising issues faced by women are constantly explored on stage and on screen, but few insights are available on the contrasting effects of men experience in women’s defined social environments. For this reason alone, I joined the enthusiastic audience and clapped wildly at the end Angry Allen –It’s not just the numerous questions that leave unanswered in the writing, especially because John Krasinski’s colorful and always surprising performance, especially out of amazing power and nuance. The film doesn’t tell his energy, versatility and introspective ability. I am happy to report that he is powerful and fun on the stage on screen. The play is not original and does not have enough revelation to move the heart, but watching him go through the action, giving him everything and taking time to enjoy.
