2:00 pm. Play--The Stendahl Syndrome
New Yorker: In Terrence McNally’s twin bill at Primary Stages, the playwright displays his narrative skill, his sense of fun, his love of music, and his ability to turn a threadbare theatrical trope into a surprising, complex gesture. A tour guide and her clients contemplate Michelangelo’s “David” in “Full Frontal Nudity,” the first of two one-acts, and succumb to a state of aesthetic surrender that characterizes the evening’s eponymous syndrome. The second play, “Prelude and Liebestod,” places the audience in a concert hall, at the feet of a preening, histrionic conductor (Richard Thomas), who whips the musicians and himself into a crescendo of wild-eyed Wagnerian passion, as his wife (Isabella Rossellini) and an infatuated male fan (Yul Vasquez) stare down on him from box seats on opposite sides of the auditorium. In the last measures of the “Liebestod,” the conductor drives his baton into his abdomen. As comic epiphanies go, McNally’s marriage of ecstasy and extinction has a delightfully perverse logic.
