Difficulties of choice Actors Oscar Isaac (Torch) and Marisa Tomei (Blue) read their lines over Skype. And that was the case when there was an opportunity to observe the skill. They did it so expressively that it created a feeling of complete presence: in the dark hall of the theater, or even as if the lines were addressed to the viewer. Concentration and impact are enormous.
The play “Beirut” is written by Alan Bone and tells the story of Torch and Blue, who find themselves in a difficult life situation, facing a dilemma. They love each other, but Torch is sick. He wants to protect Blue from the danger of infection, so he asks her to leave him.
The answer lies on the surface, but that is where the story is built. Is it right to leave a loved one in such a situation or are there options?
The timing of the play is an hour, it flies unnoticed due to the bright living of the actors of their roles. They have become a couple locked in a room, and chaos is happening around them, but it is important for them to solve their problem, which at the moment is more important than what is outside. For an hour you plunge into their difficult situation and empathize. This is a feature of the play - despite the remote reading, the picture of what is happening is drawn very realistic and attracts attention.
