More a philosophical treatise than a play meant to entertain, this is in the spirit of "My Dinner with Andre". Full of long speeches and finishing with what could be the beginnings of a dissertation on the banality of evil, it probably reads better than it would play on stage, at least for most people. The script opens questions about the nature of humanity, about our willingness to commit evil, about whether Hitler was really so unusual, or do we all have it in us to do that sort of beastly act if given the incentive and the opportunity. Sure to keep a person thinking for some time. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Aunt Dan & Lemon takes us into the world of a young recluse named Lemon (alias Leonora) who spends her nights reading chronicles of Nazi atrocities. Lemon tells the audience about the overwhelming influence in her life of her parents' friend "Aunt Dan," an eccentric, passionate professor whose stories and seductive opinions enthrall Lemon from the time she is a young girl. The relationship that develops between Lemon and Aunt Dan and the conversations that went on in a small house on the bottom of an English garden form the focus of this play about political orientation and the allure of certain ideas-even if they lead to murder. A forceful play exposing the banality of society's evil, Aunt Dan & Lemon explores the ease with which good and bad become reconciled in the human mind.
