 Life's
Losses Loved
By Kirk Wood Bromley
Equal parts
poetic invention, theatric repetition, cultural synthesis, metempsychotic
transference, and simple sequel, Bromley's Life's Loss's Loved picks
up the action of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost six months (and
400 years) later in order to investigate once again the timeless themes
and motivations of the inhabitants of Navarre.
This new play, however, is not only a continuation of its precedent's
plot; it is a strange hybrid of dramatic completion, "stufft with images,
sounds, nodes, links, series, smudges, metaphors, and projections" of
its prequel. Taking place in modern day Vermont, each character (save
one) has its ghost in the former work. The action not only acknowledges
the facts of the past, but it coordinates itself with them in order
to render "simulcast concoctions" of the future. The result is a play
existing then and now, words speaking directly and evasively, characters
moving forward and backward in time.
This play by Bromley will undoubtedly stimulate investigation into its
arcane connections with Shakespeare's original piece; but it will as
undoubtedly give rise to even more autonomous theatric and non-theatric
questions - who are we, where do we come from, how different have we
become, and where are we going? For answers we can now again look to
Life, Love, Labor, and Loss and their endless, alliterative, passionate
play across cultures, times, and stages.
