Two plays that look at the world in a slightly different way. The first play, Blinded by the Sun, examines scientific fraud. In the first act, it is easy to determine who is the good guy and who is the bad, but by the middle of the second act, you're not so sure. The author does not take a pot shot at the soft underbelly of science; he presents a nuanced look at issues of ethics, and the result is somewhat ambiguous. The second play is about a child psychologist who is stalked by the mother of one of her patients. I found this one much less satisfying; it started off strong, and made some good progress, but then the author takes a turn into self-righteousness and modern child rearing theory. He also takes a nice conflict and brings it to too easy a resolution. The ending doesn't feel right. ( )
