The dialogue is all perfect inflection and pacing, owing to the considerable talent of the actors and the skill of the playwright. Only Albee, master of absurd theater, could manage to make bickering so compelling. During a lull, Leslie (Michael McKeever) and Sarah (Margery Lowe), two talking lizards, amble into the fray. They have left the sea for land because they felt they no longer belonged. After some fearful hesitation, the lizards pepper the couple with questions about human life on land, though they're not even sure what "human" or "land" is. The questions are answered in a brilliant mix of frustration, compassion, and lyricism, as the previously bickering couple tries to explain emotion and intellect.
Seascape is a large, complicated play with power in the hands of this company. The tight Dramaworks space puts the audience almost onstage -- all the better for allowing this rich production to implant itself in the mind and stay there for days.
