Talk about tough love: The Oldest Boy at Main Street Theater. msthouston
The play opens with a woman, identified in the program only as “Mother,” attempting – and failing – to meditate in her living room while her toddler sleeps. Just after she’s given up, grabbed a bag of chips and readied herself to read a book on attachment parenting, two Tibetan monks, one of them a lama, arrive at her doorstep. They know of her husband, a Tibetan refugee and restaurant owner, and she invites them in to wait for him to come home.
Molly Wetzel portrays Tenzin’s mother with heart-wrenching anguish. We practically see her make her way through Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’s stages of grief as she comes to terms with the news that the monks bring, and with each stage Wetzel mines new emotional ground for her character, particularly memorable is her brief, but desperate attempt at bargaining . Opposite Wetzel is Fong Chau, who manages to walk the line of calm acceptance without veering into overly placid or cold.
The point is, this critic likes the puppet and didn’t find it nearly as bothersome as some others clearly did.
