Drugs are intimate, and so was Megan Hardy’s production of The Connection, by Jack Gelber which premiered on April 11 in Little Theater. Two actors even sat with the audience on cushions that surrounded three-quarters of the stage, occasionally standing up to stroll around the room and participate more directly in the action. The audience seemed only half invited to a stage that was both public and private, both an apartment and a drug den, as we watched with eyes selfishly seeking entertainment from a distinctively heavy, hyper-real fiction.
