She wants the cash. He wants her back. Lotto Love opened on Thursday night. Land's is a neat concept but his characters need more definition. Dwight, an apartment superintendent, fares better and is able to display his gracious generosity by his behaviour toward his tenants.
Land can draw strong visual images.
Dwight waxes poetic about breaking chilli-induced wind in an elevator. The audience howled at Owen's delivery. The last five minutes of the play are totally beguiling. In them the audience is treated to a touching and acceptably believable resolution to the situation. Those five minutes deserve to be appreciated but you might find the journey there a little slow and unrewarding . . .
