The Fatal Weakness by George Kelly

December 4, 2014

The Fatal Weakness by George Kelly

The Fatal Weakenss Kristin Griffith Photo by Richard TermineIn keeping with their mission of “bringing worthy but neglected plays back to the stage,” the not-for-profit Mint Theater Company presents The Fatal Weakness by Pulitzer Prize-winner George Kelly (uncle of Grace.)

When initially performed in 1946, the play received a tepid response in part because as The New York Times noted at the time, The Fatal Weakness was neither a “capricious comedy [nor a] psychological drama.”

The current production suffers from the same duality (in addition to being twenty  minutes too long.) But this story of a married suburban woman faced with her husband’s infidelity is fine traditional theater.
