ACT ONE

[To those of you who have come to Rick On Theater in the past few weeks looking for a report on Lynn Nottage’s play Fabulation, or the Re-Education of Undine, which I saw at the Signature Theatre almost a month ago, I apologize. I suffered a perfect storm of disruptions that caused an inordinate delay in getting this report on the blog. First, I had to finish some work that took more attention and more time than I anticipated; then I lost several additional days when I caught some minor bug that laid me up (and, pardon my scatology, had me running to the bathroom half a day; and then, that most devastating of all circumstances for an electronic publication like ROT, my computer died and I was without the machine—and the Internet and my word processor—for about four days. The Fabulation report was partly written, but I couldn’t finish it and I couldn’t post it till now. The play has only this week to run at Signature—it closes in 13 January—and I prefer to post my performance reports with enough time for readers who become interested to get a chance to see the plays on which I write. Well, Man proposes and God disposes . . . and He really disposed this time! Sorry.]
