Feeder: A Love Story Is Hard to Stomach

I really appreciated your post, this would really provide the great information .Thanks for sharing.wheelchairs

I saw this last night and have to disagree with the reviewer. It exposed some dark and compelling thoughts on the motivations of desire and attachment.

Wow. I could not disagree with this review more. I just came from the play and found it fascinating, upsetting and oddly moving. A nice change from boring white people talking about blah blah blah in their well appointed living rooms.

Hooray for bold theater.

The above review is correct - skip this amateur, on-the-surface bore. It's as interesting to watch someone be stuffed to 1,000 pounds as it is to watch someone being encouraged to smoke 4 packs of cigarettes a day until they need an oxygen tank and a wheelchair, and their lover masturbates while the person hacks up blood. Yea, a love story.

I also saw this show and was very moved. The integration of the video logs and live action worked quite well for me, and for the show, which clearly explores the area between fantasy and reality. And although its feet are firmly planted in the feeder/feedee lifestyle (it's not an extended Kafkaesque metaphor) it raised broader questions: what are the ways people in a relationship make each other "immobile" (through sex or money or whatever), and how scary it is when that need for perfect trust is made explicit. I think there may have been a darker play underneath this one, the lack of which perhaps the reviewer's reacting to, but I don't think it would have been a better one. They made a beautiful piece of theater down there, the subtitle "A love story" is not ironic.

I saw the show and found it absolutely moving above the shock value. This is a new type of theatre, and this critic is behind the times. Yes it's about brownies and pizza, but it's about what the decision between the having a fetish relationship and leading a healthy life and the hurt when it has to end. I found this revue kind of snarky,like he walked in saw the bed and the screens and walked out without seeing the show. The play was a quick 75 minutes and was not tedious at all. I found the show riveting and fascinating. Another slice of life. We live in a video blog world, and a show about blogging would involve screens. The screens were also used as a sort of back drop and for a funny heartwarming montage about the beginning of the relationship. I think Mr. Sellar should go back to his high fiber diet because he seems a little constipated.Melanie Greenstahl
