The rest of the play was trying to cram way too many ideas into 75 minutes. The wink-wink DC theater jokes and the wink-wink DC non-profit jokes were lame. There were more loose ends than I could count (what was the significance of the sick woman? etc.) Overall, I did not enjoy this play. Go for the white bird, but nothing else.

Parts of it were great. But I don't think it is yet in its finished stage. It could be made even better yet. see my review here! http://goldblatt.wordpress.com/2007/07/25/nutshell/ yeah, and that white bird was also incredibly attractive, so that helps!

Her entire role was basically one line of bird squawks set to endless repeat, and she NAILED it. And that little head-bob that puntuacted every squawk? Hillarious, every single time. It never got old! For the record, I just looked it up on the Nutshell myspace page, the genius behind that role was Mundy Spears. I need to find out what she's up to next.
