Went to the last preview of "Turning Off the Morning News" at McCarter .
All I can say is "just, wow", and not in a good way. Some things just are not funny, and mass shootings just happen to be one of those things. Whether these atrocities occur at schools, churches, malls, movie theaters, or night clubs is not important. They are just not funny.
The characters were somewhat hackneyed: the would be killer was an unemployed, alcoholic bipolar, who just happened to be a bigot. His wife was a Christian woman who quite literally could not see what was in front of her face. The other characters were a pair of friends who moved in together due to recent adversities, the son of the would be killer and his addled Christian wife, and a bizarre neighbor who didn't quite fit with the story line.
I suppose at some time during the previews the antagonists were softened in some way and their "politics" were obscured, so as not to be way too obvious.
Anyway, it was an hour and a half of my life that I will never get back. As I took the elevator to the street level, I remarked to the other quiet passengers, "that was different", and an elderly lady piped up, "it was catastrophically awful."
