“Sexual Perversity in Chicago” by
David Mamet, the inaugural production at Ensemble Theatre's new
“Second Stage” space, ambitiously tries to cover kinky sex,
lesbianism, molestation, premature ejaculation, living together, the
power struggle between the sexes, pornography, bestiality, and gender
stereotypes, but understandably, in just over an hour, only pursues
these topics shallowly. The funny and realistic script seems to have
a short attention span, jumping quickly from one subject to another
in pursuit of completely covering the entire territory of sexual
relations.
