The Village Bike (Red Stitch)

The (possibly deliberate) messy intermingling of satire, farce and character/social drama within The Village Bike didn't fully take hold of me, but I enjoyed the performances, and even though it didn't feel like a cohesive whole, the Situation made it engaging enough. Also, given that - insofar as it's primarily about any one thing - it's maybe mainly about the interplay between our basic drives and our attitudes towards sex, which is a subject about which it'd be hard to be clear or take any particular 'position' without being reductive, maybe the lack of formal or thematic resolution is apt.
