"The Pushover"
"The Pushover" at Chain Theatre is written by John Patrick Shanley who gave us some great works in "Doubt" and "Moonstruck". Another play that Shanley wrote, "Danny and The Deep Blue Sea" was another show that I have seen a few times which was great at the Lortel Theatre and awful at the Davenport Theatre. The world premier of "The Pushover" is not one of Shanley's best works, in fact, it is awful. Directed by Kirk Gostkowski, "The Pushover" never gets moving. The writing is all over the place as the audience sits and tries to make sense of the play unfolding before them. The four person show does not have great acting in it, Rebecca De Mornay, who I was looking forward to seeing onstage was bland, uninspiring on stage. Christina Toth as Soochi was out of her depth as a stage actor as was Christopher Sutton as the Therapist/ Kenny. Di Zhu as Pearl was effective at times, at other times the writing drowned out her acting ability.he four person show does not have great acting in it, Rebecca De Mornay, who I was looking forward to seeing onstage was bland, uninspiring on stage.

Who decided the bass can’t take a solo? Who wrote that rule?
