11Four People, Zero Self-Awareness, Endless Schadenfreude as Alleywayâs BECKY SHAW Delivers a Wild Roller Coaster Ride</p><p>BECKY SHAW, a play by Gina Gionfriddo, directed by Chris Handley, starring Amanda Funiciello, Anthony J. Grande, Rick Lattimer, Tammy Hayes McGovern, and Stefanie Warnick. Â Regular Performances through 10/3 are Thu- Fri 7:30, Sat 3:00 & 8:00, plus Wed 9/30 at 7:00 (!). Presented by Alleyway Theatre, 716-852-2600, alleyway.com. <strong>Buffalo Risingâs Daniel Lendzian has a </strong><a href="https://www.buffalorising.com/2026/09/alleyway-theatres-becky-shaw-playwright-gina-gionfriddo-on-dark-comedy-and-moral-messiness-podcast/"><strong>podcast interview </strong></a><strong>with the playwright.</strong></p><p>RUNTIME: 2 hours 20 minutes including one intermission</p><p>THUMBNAIL SKETCH: In this Buffalo Premiere of a Pulitzer Prize Finalist and Tony Award Nominee, when Susanna (Amanda Funiciello) sets Max (Rick Lattimer) up on a blind date with Becky (Stefanie Warnick), her husband (Anthony J. Grande) Andrewâs co-worker, Susanna has absolutely no idea how much emotional chaos this will unleash, almost tearing apart a lifelong friendship while almost breaking up her marriage. Itâs an edgy, dark, razor-sharp, funny play that provides a full evening of <em>schadenfreude</em> (delight in anotherâs misfortune, especially Maxâs). Â As the publicity states: âItâs about four people who think theyâre perfectly fine and are absolutely not.â Â </p><p>THE PLAYERS, THE PLAY, THE PRODUCTION: Â After waiting in the wings for 18 years, this 2008 play finally got to Broadway to critical raves, and now it gets a Buffalo premiere, thanks to the Alleyway Theatre (the one in the old bus/police station which shares an alley between Pearl and Main with Sheaâs). Â Itâs their mission in life to bring us new plays or, in this case, plays new to Buffalo. Â And, as they put in a slip in the playbill, âNew plays, and the theatres that make them, are at a real crossroads. Â Weâre working hard to bring in audiences who are excited about something new. Â We get it. Â Itâs easier to go see something you already know the ending to.â Â With BECKY SHAW, the ending is something youâre going to want to talk about, whether at the Alleywayâs lounge or on the way home. Â And there will be no spoiler alerts here. </p><p>But leading up to that ending (which Iâm not going to talk about) is one helluva roller coaster ride. Â It all starts in a NYC hotel room where Max, a financial adviser, and his sort of half-sister Susanna are arguing, as apparently they often do, about momâs will, which they are in town to discuss. Â And the newest complication is that mom (Tammy Hayes McGovern), now a widow, has gotten herself a much younger, not very responsible, boyfriend. Â âYou mean, my lover!â she tells them, to their consternation. </p><figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image"><div><img alt="" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/66b28184b6f4eded7bcf0f66/6ab6f6bc5c6be6656bb75776_BeckyShaw%40AlleywayTheaterStonecropPhotography1of3.jpeg" loading="lazy"/></div><figcaption>Photos by Stonecrop Photography</figcaption></figure><p>Max has risen in his profession by being oriented to âface the factsâ and he is a little short on the social graces. Â Now, when dealing with Susanna, heâs not really wrong in that approach since she is somewhat flighty while very prone to indecision. Â She grudgingly accepts that about herself and does seem to welcome a âhandlerâ in her life and Max, despite his protestations, does revel in handling things. Â Heâs a thinker and a planner and a doer. </p><p>It turns out that Susanna, on a ski trip (that Max had recommended as a way to do something instead of sitting around grieving the loss of her father) she had met a sweet man in touch with his feelings. Â Andrew, in turn, recognized Susanna as someone who needed to be rescued. Â Of course, Max, the thinker-planner-doer was a
11ppalled.</p><p>Andrewâs co-worker, Becky Shaw, very much down on her luck, is also someone whom Andrew sees as needing to be rescued. Â (Andrew has âa type.â) Â And the more that Andrew tells Susanna about Becky, the more Susanna thinks that Becky could also use a handler, a thinker-planner-doer in her life, and so she sets up the blind date, warning that Max can be verbally abusive at first. Â And of course, he is, immediately probing to find the inconsistencies in Beckyâs sorry story, but they go ahead with the date. Â And then he ghosts her. Â Did he think this one through? Â Weâll never know. </p><figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image"><div><img alt="" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/66b28184b6f4eded7bcf0f66/6ab6f6bc5c6be6656bb75786_BeckyShaw%40AlleywayTheaterStonecropPhotography42of55.jpeg" loading="lazy"/></div><figcaption>Photos by Stonecrop Photography</figcaption></figure><figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image"><div><img alt="" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/66b28184b6f4eded7bcf0f66/6ab6f6bd5c6be6656bb7578a_BeckyShaw%40AlleywayTheaterStonecropPhotography25of55.jpeg" loading="lazy"/></div><figcaption>Photos by Stonecrop Photography</figcaption></figure><figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image"><div><img alt="" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/66b28184b6f4eded7bcf0f66/6ab6f6bc5c6be6656bb7577e_BeckyShaw%40AlleywayTheaterStonecropPhotography51of55.jpeg" loading="lazy"/></div><figcaption>Photos by Stonecrop Photography</figcaption></figure><p>Any âamateur psychologistâ (and arenât we all) will delight in seeing certain traits exhibited, including whatâs called âHelpâseeking / helpârejecting behaviorâ where someone repeatedly creates or worsens problems, seeks support, then rejects solutions so the caretaking cycle continues. Â This is how Susanna behaves around Max. </p><p>For Becky, itâs what they call âVictim stance / victimhood manipulationâ where a person positions themselves as chronically wronged or overwhelmed to elicit sympathy, protection, or rescue. Â Itâs sometimes called âInstrumental helplessnessâ where someone acts incapable or creates avoidable problems because the resulting rescue provides emotional reward, attention, or control. </p><p>And itâs the âcontrolâ element that reminds people of another famous Becky and thatâs Thackerayâs manipulative social climber Becky Sharp in his 1848 novel âVanity Fair.â Â As the title suggests, the novel skewers the vanity of the upper classes. Â In this play, Becky Shaw brings out the worst behavior of the other characters. Â </p><p>This is a dream cast, with each actor having been the lead in other shows on other stages Iâve seen, which is important because, although the play is named after one of them, they are all leads here. Â This is an ensemble that works well together. </p><figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image"><div><img alt="" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/66b28184b6f4eded7bcf0f66/6ab6f6bd5c6be6656bb7578e_IMG_4044-820x1024.jpeg" loading="lazy"/></div></figure><p>I took particular delight in the moveable set designed by regional theater designer Tania Barrenechea with its sliding panels and drop-down bed, with much of the furniture moved by the actors themselves, a nice touch in that it both speeds things up creating some momentum, as well as keeping us inside the fiction, creating sort of shared ritual. Â Iâve always responded warmly to that.</p><p>I also responded well to lighting designer Emma Schimmingerâs end of scene âfreeze framesâ or âflash photosâ capturing an actor or actors in stark white light. Â It was new and edgy and in keeping with the spirit of the play. Â Very clever.</p><p>The costumes by Amaya Mack were serviceable but I loved Becky Shawâs date night outfit and hair (wigs by Mary Jakiel). Â They were âjust so wrongâ they were perfect for her character. Â I thought that Maxâs outfits could have been a little snappier, maybe more off the rack at Barneyâs instead of off the rack Target, but perhaps this was his off-the-clock look.</p><figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image"><div><img alt="" src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/66b28184b6f4eded7bcf0f66/6ab6f6bc5c6be6656bb75782_IMG_4049.jpeg" loading="lazy"/></div></figure><p>Note 1: The match-making role of Susanna here at the Alleyway is mirrored across Main Street where the Irish Classical Theatre is presenting Kate Hamillâs adaptation of Jane Austenâs 1815 novel âEmma.â Â In that novel and play, Emmaâs choices of occupation are limited, and so she turns to matchmaking to occupy her clever mind. Â I think that Susannaâs motivations arenât quite as innocent as Emmaâs, but both women tend to make a hash of things.</p><p>Note 2: Knowing that Rick Lattimer and Stefanie J. Warnick when off stage are âan itemâ made the on-stage spats even more delicious. Â I havenât enjoyed
11something like that since real-life married couple Kelly and Steve Copps faced off in both GOD OF CARNAGE (the title says it all) as well as THE LAST FIVE YEARS.</p><p>Note 3: The Alleyway has taken on producing seven (7!) either new or new to Buffalo shows this season, far more than most, and they are THE HAUNTING OF HOOVERTON HOTEL (a sort of Scooby-Doo sendup by two local playwrights), along with two seasonal shows A CHRISTMAS CAROL (adapted by Daniel F. Lendzian) and THE HATEFUL ELF, plus THE RINK AT THE END OF THE WORLD, also AHOY, AHOY and Stephen Sondheimâs musical comedy THE FROGS (freely adapted from Aristophanesâ play).
