Jake Brasch's 'The Reservoir' suffers from arrested character development at the Geffen Playhouse
"The Reservoir" at the Geffen Playhouse explores addiction and family dynamics through the lens of a queer Jewish theater student and his eccentric grandparents. The reviewer found the play's artificiality and reliance on comic tropes to be a weakness, hindering the actors' ability to fully realize their characters despite some strong performances. While the play aims for depth, it ultimately remains superficial and visually monotonous.
