Beth Lacke, Raymond Fox and Makalah Simpson in “What the Constitution Means to Me” at TimeLine Theatre. You have to take this review as the work of someone seeing this piece for the fourth time. If you’ve never seen “Constitution” and you are interested in the Supreme Court and the impact of its decisions, it’s absolutely worth experiencing this production on Wellington Avenue in Lakeview. This is a really adroit piece of writing and unique in how it addresses its audience and explores the intersection of constitutional law and everyday life.
Nonetheless, I think this new production still has a ways to go: the main issue is that it is insufficiently confident and thus a tad chilly, muted, uncertain and pre-packaged. The trick here is to base things on the script , but make it feel like the work has been ignited and that anything can happen, at this moment in this theater.
By the coda, where the piece showcases a young debater , Lacke had found her way toward the right personal relationship with the audience. I’d give this piece a few more days to settle, interact with audiences and find its heart.Where: TimeLine Theatre, 615 W. Wellington Ave.
