Here is the detail that makes this worth driving for: from late January to March, two plays share one stage on alternating nights with overlapping casts, so the actor playing a hapless Russian surveillance officer on Friday is doing Oscar Wilde on Saturday. True repertory like that has almost disappeared from American theatre because it is expensive and hard, and watching the same body carry two completely different registers in one weekend is a thing you cannot get from film. Lauren Yee wrote this one. She is the playwright behind Cambodian Rock Band, which is the show people still bring up unprompted years later, and this is her first return to Costa Mesa since 2018. The story follows a man named Evgeny who is thoroughly out of his depth at a surveillance job and decides to risk the whole thing to win over a former pop star with a past she will not explain. It was a critic's pick off-Broadway. If you know somebody who saw Cambodian Rock Band and has not shut up about it, send them this. Costa Mesa, from January twenty-second, alternating nights into March.
