Fans of playwright Jez Butterworth can and should expect more
If you've ever caught a fish fresh from a stream or lake, you know that they're slippery and feisty. So, you have to bash its head with something heavy so it will lay still and you can get on with the task of cooking it. On the other hand, you could also throw it back into the water.
Perhaps, one tipoff of what's to come is the fact that none of the four actors have names; they are only referred to in the program as The Man, The Woman, The Other Woman, and Another Woman. That's always a hint that"deep,""symbolic" and"mysterious" doings will be afoot—at least, in the mind of the playwright. So deep and symbolic, in fact, that he can't bring himself to attach actual human names to the people spouting his words. Child, please.
When the first of these Women switches happen, The Man takes no note that The Other Woman is a different human being than The Woman, not to mention Another Woman. He insists on regaling the first two with lush, at times overwritten poesy in honor of the scintillating sensations involved with catching and landing a fish, and insists they don their knee-high boots and go with him.
