Johnson’s 1982 play, Insignificance,
imagines that in a cheap hotel four people come together for a few short hours
– people so universally recognizable that they are only referenced as The Professor,
The Senator, The Actress, and The Ballplayer.
Their conversations and confrontations – often intense in words and in
physicality -- range from hateful accusations to intellectual explorations to
romantic encounters.
The comedy, social commentary, and melodrama of Insignificance receives an engaging
treatment in Dragon’s current production, thanks largely to the astute choices
of Director Laura Jane Bailey who helps these four celebrities come to life in
ways mostly believable and intriguing in a situation quite fantastic and
absurd.
