How a live-streamed production of 'Lips Together, Teeth Apart' was an uplifting response to the closing of Broadway theaters because of the coronavirus pandemic.
On Monday night, I got a text from a friend, just before 8, reminding me that we had a theater date. We were both going to watch, from the safe social distance of our own apartments, a livestreaming production of Terence McNally’s 1991 playstarring Zachary Quinto, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Ari Graynor., a watercolor of four adults lounging on the deck of a beach house popped up on my screen.
But perhaps the best part was what it demanded of the audience. We too had to imagine the set: the house, the beach, the outdoor shower , the tray of cocktail glasses shattering to the ground, the sudden fistfight that burst out between the characters played by Ferguson and Quinto. In addition to marveling how convincingly the actors conveyed the impression that they were all in the same room together, I found myself listening even more intently to the dialogue than I would have in the theater.
