“We’ve known each other since we were 9,” says Charlotte (Linda Maria Girón) of Jonny (Kenny Scott) in New Conservatory Theatre Center’s “The Mystery of Love and Sex.” That means “we are very much beyond ‘dating.’ In the conventional sense.” But the couple, childhood friends who now live together at college, aren’t strictly platonic either, which gives rise to difficulties of nomenclature. Bathsheba Doran’s play asks how to categorize a relationship for which there’s not much historical precedent... Читать дальше...
