This week I went to see You Better Sit Down: Tales From My Parents Divorce by The Civilians on stage at the Paramount and presented by ArtsEmerson. I was a little bit disappointed. The tag line “Who knew divorce could be so funny?” let me assume that it was a comedy. However, although some quotes were funny, the play was a little bit boring. They tried to create style effect with the fours actors in line telling their own parent story but the play fell into the bias of four monologues without any links. Fours story completely different. At some point I was just wondering where the play was going if an unexpected link will appear and enlighten everything, the end of the play was abrupt and showed me that in fact it did not go anywhere. It was really frustrating!
