• Location Motel Theatre, Arts Commons () • Price $15 - $18 Hot on the heels of its successful inaugural production earlier this summer, Theatre of Consequence is back with Brilliant Traces by Cindy Lou Johnson. Described as kooky but illuminating, the show follows Rosannah DeLuce (played by Sienna Holden) as she stumbles into a remote cabin in Alaska and wakes a lonely and mysterious man (played by John McIver). “ Brilliant Traces does what theatre does best—it puts two people in a room together and allows their worldviews to have a cage match to the death,” says director Barrett Hileman, in a statement. “It is a play that humanizes metaphor into the lives of two very unique characters, creating a tsunami of words and emotions that wash over the audience and remind them of their own humanity.” Brilliant Traces runs August 24 to 27, 2016 at Motel Theatre, Arts Commons (205 8th Ave. Tickets can be purchased by calling 587.887.1002 or by emailing.

Griffin Theatre Maria Irene Fornes uses a remarkably simple technique to create her beguiling plays. She visualizes a character in extreme detail until this creature of the imagination is as vivid to her as a real person. Fornes then plucks a sentence at random from a novel and uses it as the character's first line of dialogue.

I attended one of the workshops where she teaches this technique; it works wonderfully. Once the dialogue starts flowing, it's hard to shut it off.

Words just gush from the imagination, expressing ideas and emotions that come as total surprises. The problem is, a lot of garbage comes out with the good stuff. Fornes merely teaches how to unlock the imagination and produce original dialogue; shaping that dialogue into a play requires another step, a crucial, private step that transforms the raw material into drama. And that is the step that Cindy Lou Johnson skipped when she was creating her sophomoric little play, Brilliant Traces.

Johnson must have used Fornes's technique, or one very much like it, for Brilliant Traces begins with a wonderfully startling dreamlike image. As the wind howls outside, someone starts pounding on the door of a remote, ramshackle cabin. I'm a person in serious trouble!'

A woman's voice cries. Suddenly, the door bangs open and in steps a young woman--wearing a wedding gown. A figure shrouded in a blanket rises from the bed and confronts her. The play begins. The beginning, steeped in mystery and promise, is original indeed.

Outside the cabin, we quickly learn, is an Alaskan snowstorm so fierce that the sky and the ground become a uniform white, which quickly disorients anyone who tries to walk in it. Yet this woman, wearing only a wedding gown and a pair of flimsy satin shoes, has somehow found her way to the only cabin within miles.

What happens next? What happens next is 100 minutes of inane, repetitious dialogue that vacillates between mawkish sentimentality and noisy argument. Listening to this drivel is like being trapped with a babbling drunk, and to make matters worse, the dialogue in Griffin Theatre's production of the play is delivered by two actors who have confused volume with technique. When the dialogue becomes stupefying, you can count on them to start bellowing, as if noise will somehow create the drama lacking in the play.

Brilliant Traces might have been saved by top-notch acting. The play received a respectful review in the New York Times when it was mounted in New York two years ago with Piven Theatre Workshop's Joan Cusack and Steppenwolf's Kevin Anderson. But the two Griffin Theatre actors--Eric Zudak and Jean Elliott Campbell--stick too close to the dialogue.

This quickly reveals the inanity of the play, and Bitter Traces bogs down in phony angst and lame humor. For example, Henry Harry, the man who lives in the cabin, puts Rosannah's satin slippers in the oven to dry while she sleeps for two straight days in his bed. He forgets about them, turns the oven on, and broils them to a crisp.
