The Oregonian Raves: Landscape of the Body
Posted 03/11/08
"Early in John Guare's Landscape of the Body a man in Groucho Marx glasses tries to impress a woman on the deck of a Nantucket ferry by using a postcard of the passing Kennedy compound to point out which house is whose. He finds, however, that the postcard has the buildings wrong. It doesn't, as he says, "match up to reality."
His words are a perfect summary of Guare's lusciously layered, outlandishly funny and fractured play. Instead of a linear plot, Guare gives us a series of postcards clung to by characters whose dreams and personal stories always come up short."
