Two Mile Hollow Delivers a Worthwhile Message but is Muddled in Execution
Review of Two Mile Hollow presented by Intiman Theatre
Written by Teen Writer Yoon Lee and edited by Teen Editor Esha Potharaju
My experience with Two Mile Hollow was not what I anticipated. This subversion of my expectations works both for and against it.
I came into it hoping it would lean into the irony of its premise–satirize a petty rich white family by casting Asian American Pacific Islander actors for each role. The promise of seeing something akin to The Mystery of Irma Vep, which used two actors in cross-gender roles to lampoon traditional Victorian gender roles, was what drew me to Two Mile Hollow in the first place. Its deficiency in this department was why it was a disappointment.
