Sure Thing, David Ives, a review

“Sure Thing” is side-splitting humor. It’s about two characters sitting at a table in a cafe and their attempts at striking a conversation. The attempt is reset by a bell placed on the table. The artists from Orange Reason mades sure the characters come alive and the chemistry was visible. On Youtube there is a performance of the play by Williamburg Theatre Company in Brooklyn. Orange Reason is at par. It’s difficult to do such a wonderful script badly. There is a scene in the play where Bill tries to poke his head forward to Betty , while talking, it looks he’s trying to smell her ; could be different. Williamburg Theatre Company’s too uses the same movement. New expressions keep the script growing. The mention of Modi and Kejriwal was nice. In the opening attempts Betty is sitting on the chair but later when she gets up and walks to the other side, it’s a lovely use of space on stage. ” Sure Thing” is a must match!!!
