The Night of the Iguana

February 18, 2024 | Off-Broadway | La Femme Theater Productions | Matinee | Play | Revival | 2H 40M

I spent the first act fruitlessly convincing myself to enjoy the play. It isn't that pacing is slow as cold molasses, or that the actress playing Hannah drags it out even more, or even the dated tone. I don't believe a play's protagonist needs to be likable, but damn, if he's going to be written as a mentally unwell reverend who has a taste for teenaged girls but is still meant to be a little sympathetic, at least cast an actor who can make him charming enough to justify why three separate women on stage want him. I'm also a little flummoxed with the casting decisions here where Daphne Rubin-Vega is probably about a decade or more younger than she should be, Carmen Berkeley a decade or more older than she should be, and Jean Lichty two decades older than as written. Which really hurts the whole weird three-way catfight dynamic over the trainwreck man. Lea DeLaria was a highlight though, as per usual.

Verdict: A Long Slog to Curtains

'The Night of the Iguana,' Theater Review

'The Night of the Iguana,' starring Daphne Rubin-Vega, Tim Daly and Jean Lichty is in revival at The Pershing Square Signature Center until February 25th.

(L to R): Daphne Rubin-Vega, Jean Lichty, Tim Daly, Austin Pendleton in The Night of the Iguana (Joan Marcus) The Night of the Iguana is one of Williams most poetic and lyrical plays with dialogue that touches upon the spiritual and philosophical. On the one hand in Iguana, Williams’ characters are amongst the most broken, isolated and self-destructive of his plays. On the other hand, in their…

FALLOUT - First Scene

Time for a brief break from posting ceramic animals to post some flesh & blood ones (see alt text for species!)!

My partner's mom & stepdad took us to Costa Rica (near Tamarindo) for his 40th birthday & I was in bird/creature heaven! The nearest rainforest was a bit too far from where we were staying, but I got to experience some wonderful dry tropical forest & estuary/river ecosystems, plus got some good hangout time with the Pacific ocean <3

My partner gave me the good DSLR for the nature tours we went on & it was a joy being able to take pretty OK photos instead of sad zoomed-in cheapest-iPhone ones (obviously I still have a lot to learn, but these are exciting as a beginning!!):

Since our two nature tours were boat-based (one on the Palo Verde River, one on an estuary in Las Baulas park), most of my decent bird photos are herons, as they're larger, generally lower-down, & also move more slowly than goddamn passerines/parrots/smaller birds.

I did get an ok-ish shot of a common black hawk, tho!! LOOK at that eagle-y beak!

& finally, the reptiles!! There were green iguanas & black spiny-tailed iguanas absolutely everywhere...

...AND WE SAW AMERICAN CROCODILES!!

On the Palo Verde river tour we saw some BIG guys (smallest maybe 6', biggest must have been 10'-12')!

& on the estuary tour we saw a few young ones. Two were less than 3' long, and this guy was maybe 4' and let us get super close b/c it was tucked away in the mangrove roots!

I had a wonderful time on this trip and am already looking forward to coming back for a rainforest-focused adventure next time!!

Also, Tamarindo has two really good coffee shops run by the loveliest people (Nordico Coffee & Derecho Sagrado) so if you're ever there, pls check them out!

FIN!
