La Bella Vita

Tonight I saw La Bella Vita, a comedic play set entirely in the backroom of a fancy Italian restaurant. The story focused on the characters, lives, and somewhat flitting loves of the 20-something waitstaff.

There's much rushing about as the characters philosophize about love and sex and life. The title, Italian for "The Beautiful Life," is obviously ironic, since these are rather messy lives. But the characters were young and energetic and the play ends on a hopeful note.

But it's not clear whether
They'll get their acts together.
