Breath, Boom - Snoore!

I never walk out of anything. Really, I have the patience of Job and can sit through almost any piece of garbage finding some kind of redeeming detail to keep me going. However, when I saw "Breath, Boom" at the Yale Repertory Theatre, I finally met my match. It is a simplistic, agonizingly earnest tale of a female gang with a leader that wants to design fireworks. Fireworks are great, so it's amazing a play about them could be so boring. The stiff acting didn't help, nor did the putrid dialogue that most real gang members could have penned with greater aplomb. I just couldn't make it through the whole thing and walked out after the first act. Total garbage.
