Our Review:
22 January 2010
Progress, Doug Lucie's 1983 play here getting its first revival in over 25 years, is well deserving of another airing. At its heart a meditation on loneliness, it explores the delicate compromise between security and erotic thrill in a troubled marriage.
The story centres on Will and Ronee who, after being in a relationship for ten years (married for six), are searching for a way to keep their love alive. Ronee, at the insistence of Will, has taken on a lesbian lover who, though we never see her, is a persistent presence throughout the play and has forced Will out of bed and onto the couch.
Adding pressure to this already strained relationship is ever-offensive lodger Mark and new addition Ange, who's come to stay after fleeing her abusive husband. And on top of all this is Will’s over-sexed men’s discussion group who bring their own host of complications to Will and Ronee’s living room, where both acts of the play take place.
