We&#8217;re still doing those when we remember!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay yes The Minutes, Tracy Letts&#8217; latest Broadway play, has recently closed, and I was just too busy to write about it in time for you to read the review and still be able to go &#8216;oh I want to see this, I will go to Telecharge.com right now and be able to magically use that shithole of a website from 1991 and actually successfully checkout before the show closes and\/or I die from frustration.&#8217; Sorry, but hey, what a weird show! If it was still open, I would have recommended checking it out but not paying too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Minutes is a real-time-plus-flashback-also-in-real-time local council meeting (omg I&#8217;m forgetting what they are called in USA, what&#8217;s happened to me&#8230;borough meeting? it&#8217;s a small baby government of people who think they have a lot of power and honestly have more than they should) where the new guy is trying to play catch-up with WTAF is going on with this group. Noah Reid &#8211; Patrick from Schitt&#8217;s Creek &#8211; is beyond perfectly cast as the earnest newbie who you can tell makes dad jokes and is friendly, committed to doing his job well, and eager to correct people&#8217;s grammar (&#8216;sometimes it&#8217;s who!!&#8217;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right from the start, you get a bad feeling about the council head Tracy Letts, who is just as incredible an actor as he is a writer. Even without the ominous thunderstorm, you&#8217;d know from his first scene where he&#8217;s kibbutzing politely over the refreshments with the new guy not to trust him, and when he asks the new guy what his baby daughter&#8217;s name is, you get the urge to yell &#8220;don&#8217;t tell him!!&#8221; It&#8217;s so subtle but he conveys that sinister sense that things aren&#8217;t what they seem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noah&#8217;s commitment to doing his job means not letting Tracy (we are screwing character names) and the rest of the council skirt past the whole &#8216;incident&#8217; that happened the week before, the one that drove a fellow member to not show up tonight. Someone mentions it in passing, and Noah&#8217;s like &#8216;well what happened last week, remember, this is my first meeting?&#8217; and everyone&#8217;s like &#8216;FORGET IT LA LA LA WE DIDN&#8217;T SAY ANYTHING&#8217;. So Noah has Jessie Mueller (NOT SINGING AT ALL) read the minutes (drink!) of the meeting from the week before, which is his right. She reads them and when it gets to the key part, apparently there&#8217;s a transcript she made that&#8217;s attached as an appendix. Guys, there&#8217;s a whole lot of talk about the technicalities of minutes and appendices and transcripts that the Tony-winner likes to do just for completeness sake, and it sounds like it would be a long sigh of a boring mess, but it&#8217;s actually gripping. You&#8217;re like YES READ THE F-ING TRANSCRIPT, THE APPENDIX IS PART OF THE MINUTES, OF COURSE IT&#8217;S PART OF IT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What comes to light about the conflict the week before focuses on the man who isn&#8217;t at the present meeting, the council member with the conscience. Turns out he wanted the council to officially recognize the town&#8217;s terrible racist history, the truth that everyone ignores, that&#8217;s the opposite of what&#8217;s in the popular founding mythology and the town song. The real story is, as we guessed, full of slaughter of the Native population. All of this sounds very believable and without a doubt is the same story for many American towns. But taking this play&#8217;s treatment of this subject beyond the recognizable and into the symbolic is the strength of the connection this town, and this council, has to their fake history. Their unwillingness to give up their fake history is treated more like a necessity, a powerful all-encompassing metaphorical spirit that goes beyond what you&#8217;d expect in real life, but reflects the strength these false histories have over us. People like this cling to them when letting go would mean also losing a sense of balance in the world, the world they\/we created where we benefit from the lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So they WILL NOT let them go! The play ends super weird, like war paint and hooting weird, and it&#8217;s a little unbelievable that Noah would fold so easily, but maybe I&#8217;m projecting. And sure it&#8217;s not (hopefully) representative of what happens at your average council meeting, but the sentiment at play is pretty much what&#8217;s going on in every town in America. We love a Tracy Letts joint to make us feel bad about the world!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Theatre Thursday! We&#8217;re still doing those when we remember!
