GREAT LAKES@MTC is a Colassal Mistake

The full title of this laborious & annoying play is 'A Beautiful Day in November on the the Banks of the Greatest of the Great Lakes."  A run-on title that is much too long for this 1 hr. 15 min. play that is an hour too long.  The premise is promising; a midwestern family preparing for the Thanksgiving gathering.  Two commentators from a press booth above the set call out the action in preparing for the  meal stuffed way out of bounds with sporting analogies.  Yes, there is hilarity to be found in family dysfunction as it plays out like a battlefield around the Thanksgiving Day table.  In fact, this would probably make a clever SNL sketch.  However, as a long drawn out play, it's as flat as Brady's balls in the Patriots v. Indiana game.  Ouch!  From setting up the table to lying on the couch - this comedy outruns the clock, making everyone a loser.  An audible should have been called for another play, any other play.  It would have to be better cuz it couldn't get worse.
