Theatre Review: ‘Believers,’ a couple’s extreme tests of faith
THE NEW YORK TIMES
By Sandy MacDonald
NEW YORK---Before-and-after stories usually follow a redemptive script: Miraculous amelioration is the norm. In “Believers,” however, the playwright Ken Jaworowski is dealing with marriage, a covenant not known for its surefire happy outcomes. In this WorkShop Theater Company production, directed by Alex Dmitriev, two sets of actors portray one couple in brief, alternating scenes set in disparate phases: the early, heady, romantic days (mid-’90s) and “20-plus years later,” which is to say roughly the present.
