The Lowdown
The premise is classic Wilder: a young striver gets lost in a department store that functions more like a metaphysical waiting room than a retail outlet. Kirk Lynn stepped in to finish the draft that sat in a drawer for two decades, and the result is a jagged, peculiar meditation on what we actually want versus what we buy. It is a slow burn that demands patience from the audience. If you prefer your theater with high-octane pacing or a clear-cut resolution, stay home. This is for the academics and the quiet observers who like their existential dread served with a side of mid-century Americana.
