“The audience at my performance was well aware it was sitting in a great Chicago theater, listening to the words of one of the greatest playwrights ever born,” writes Tribune critic ChrisJonesTrib.
Samuel Roukin, Jon Hudson Odom, Jeff Perry and Mark Ulrich in"No Man's Land" at Steppenwolf Theatre.
Such is the determined intensity, and textual near-perfection, of Perry’s performance, far from the genial characters in which he long has specialized, it suggests this great actor has long been waiting for this play, a richly verbose and metaphoric dance between two London acquaintances, maybe longtime acquaintances, maybe not. Hirst is a guarded and successful writer, Spooner a poet or a fraud or both.
Les Waters, the deeply experienced director in this production, understands Pinter, too, as does Andrew Boyce, who designed a room that uses Steppenwolf’s famously soaring vertical to excellent effect; the room containing this quartet seems to float in the ether. I’ve been watching Ulrich for years and have enormous respect for his talent and craft. But at the weekend performance I saw, he still had a ways to go, not so much to match Pinter, which he already was doing, but to match Perry, who was simply at another level. I suspect that will change, possibly quite significantly, as the new casting gels, the power structure recalibrates and Ulrich taps into the character’s mercurial power.
