Revival of Irish playwright Conor McPherson's St. Nicholas is a retelling of a tall tale worth repeating.
Irish playwright Conor McPherson is a master storyteller whose monologue-driven plays create an atmosphere so intimate that they are more confessional than theatrical. Such is the case with his fourth play,The play made its off-Broadway debut in 1998, was staged in Austin by by Hyde Park Theatre in 2006, and is being staged there once again.
The first act is singularly devoted to relaying just how loathsome he is, punctuated by his abandonment of job and family to follow a woman to England. She is an ingénue named Helen, who recently played the title role in a Dublin production of Salome that the critic brutally panned. She and her company are in London to perform the show in a limited engagement made even more limited by his negative review.
The victims remain unturned and, in the morning, are given euphoric amnesia and sent on their anemic way. As for the captive critic – a vampire-of-sorts himself, since he has made a long career out of preying off the artistry of others – it's rinse and repeat for eternity unless he manages to find some self-worth and somehow escape from this dreamlike, amorphous underworld he’s so readily embraced.
