Since this section has been dormant, I'll bring up my question here.

I saw the production of this play - LIFE X THREE - by Yasmina Reza at Ocean County College. The production is lovely, but I'm wondering what is the point of the script.

Yasmina Reza also wrote ART, which seems to make some profound points about friendship and the nature of art, points which are accessible to most audience members. However, I could see no points, profound or otherwise, in LIFE X THREE. I don't think I'm an intellectual cretin, but maybe I missed something. Anybody else know this play? Can you explain it?

Wish I could be more help. The only thing I remember from reading the reviews, is that Helen Hunt and John Turturro starred in the production and that some guests came early for dinner. The show was not very well received.

If I may add, plays using "X" for the word "by" haven't faired well.

The curse of the "X", eh? Sounds like a title for a horror film.

Thanks for the input.

When it comes to horror films, the title of mine is "The Curse of the Ex"

I've noticed that no one has touched upon this subject as of March of last year. When reading the initial blurb, I really liked the idea of this play reading club. As unfortunate as it is that technology is "sucking the marrow out of life" so to speak, I'm glad that someone found a way to intelligently marry the classic hobby of reading with the technological aspects of meeting new people and sharing information. So, if I may, I would like to request that whomever's brilliant idea this was, please breathe new life into it.

So, rentaholic, what play would you like to read and discuss next?
