WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Are we responsible for our own illnesses? In this "solo play with other people in it," Lisa Kron explores this question, weaving together stories from her stay in an "environmental ecology clinic" with tales of of her childhood in a racially integrated neighborhood which was "healed" from decline by her mother's work. Kron is joined on stage by the character of her mother, who's not sure she wants to be in a play, and a chorus of four equally uncooperative actors. Well is presented by Dixon Place and the Public Theater.

Lisa Kron, wearing a casual black outfit and a shiny helmet of rust-colored hair, arrives in her show Well with an intriguing subject. In a self-consciously sincere tone of voice, she says that she'll be discussing her own theory on why some people recover from illness while others languish for years. The play about to unfold, she goes on to declare, will not be about her mother and her. That's when she indicates the actress Jayne Houdyshell reclining stage right in a La-Z-Boy amidst a heap of living room clutter. Houdyshell has been there since the audience entered the hall and Kron insists that she'll only refer to her when it's necessary to illustrate a point.
Of course, as soon as Kron[...]
