Linda Lavin and Daniel Isaac do their best to marshal what “You Will Get Sick” could be, to take us to its human heart.
We are in a “Big City, a time before cellphones,” according to the program for Noah Diaz’s play
The characters are known by numbers, and the central relationship is between #1 and #2 . #1 is suffering from some kind of illness or illnesses, which are gradually disabling him. Straw issues forth from his mouth and body when it is being exceptionally beaten up; the play focuses on what a body means, what it is, and what it is not.
#2 also helps #1 tell those around him that he is sick. Marinda Anderson and Nate Miller, play numbers 3 and 4 respectively—doubling up roles as a sister, an acting class teacher, an acting class student, and an ex-boyfriend—and Dario Ladani Sanchez plays #5, whose voice we hear as an off-stage narrator until a surprise appearance before us. Performance versus reality are the dueling themes of the play.
