The sexual encounters are so much more detailed than any I have ever seen on the stage, with the specific work put in by sex choreographer Yehuda Duenyas. Even more eyebrow raising scenes are turned out than one might expect.

What is interesting is how the show pushes the envelope to incorporate Bradshaw's signature shock factor. Fast-paced and edgy.įulfillment uses a tried and true formula of sex, booze, and the corporate environment. All together it is a sleek, graphic world. The incredible Brian Sidney Bembridge adds his scenic and lighting design skills including eight foot tall vertical cylindrical lights backlighting the stage for a brilliant effect. It is modern New York City with high powered characters and actors who make hard work look effortless. Writer Thomas Bradshaw and director Ethan McSweeny create a fun, cohesive world with Fulfillment. After spending one point five million dollars on a new apartment and being woken up by his upstairs neighbor's kid every morning he really needs to utilize that new skill set and breathe and meditate before he blows a gasket. Sarah's prayers and Michael's guidance from AA seem to be working. She has seen the devastating effects of alcoholism in her father and dearly departed brother. She brings Michael to her meditation group, and explains how when frustrating things occur he can still control his reactions. Sarah is a strange bird herself, with thick glasses, very frank sexual desires, and evident intelligence. Michael does not always follow the rules, though, seeing as he is sleeping with his co-worker, Sarah (Susannah Flood). And I would hate to think that his boss is racist. Surely his drinking problem has gone unnoticed. His hard work and dedication to his firm make us (and Michael) wonder why he is not yet a partner. The elusive question at the heart of Fulfillment is, what makes us happy? Uncovering discrimination and standing up for yourself may also lead to happiness. A promotion to partner would surely also make him happy, as would a new condo in Soho. When he is having sex in a stairwell and is told “I want you to fuck my face the same way you'd fuck my pussy,” that makes him happy. This modern production takes sex on stage to new heights as Michael tries to find happiness.Įvery step Michael (Gbenga Akinnagbe) makes in his life is infused with the desire for happiness.

Susannah Flood and Gbenga Akinnagbe in Fulfillment. There is the same underlying aura of pure hope.By Thomas Bradshaw Directed by Ethan McSweeny The look on Kate’s face in all three of the finale clips (promotion, office, and end pan where she was walking out of the courthouse) echo the way that Sandra looked in the beginning of the pilot. No offense but the writers intended for Littlebell to be endgame. She told him he wasn’t allowed to tell her to clean her office and yet she cleaned her whole office and changed her organization style the moment she got back from Kate’s. I don’t know if this was what the writers intended or if Britt Robertson made her acting choices but either way, it’s something. I did smile both times when Ted said Sandra’s name (and I am reminded of when Kate said Sandra’s first name so many times in the park) but nothing that she did (besides initiating the kiss) felt like it was something she wanted. I am haunted by the fact that Kate told Sandra that before anyone else did, that Kate reminded Sandra she had the right to choose and that she was allowed to be fully multidimensional and it is within her right to be.Īfter Jill’s conversation with Sandra on the rooftop, it cut right to the courtroom and to Kate, onto panning to Leonard after.

I also think back to her conversation with Kate (the one at night with the pretzel) and how the whole premise of it was that Kate told her she was allowed to be a full person beyond her job, that she is allowed to, that she can choose to. There is almost the implication that Ted isn’t something she wants, but merely a mechanism for her to live a fuller life beyond her work, but not something she desires. I think Jill is right (as always), but I am hung up on the choice of words: “want” and “need”. Jill told Sandra that she may never want something more but she will need something more. Jill called Sandra the best lawyer she’s ever seen. Littlebell-defensesquad: For The People Finale Thoughts (Littlebell)
