Listen. Listen harder. That’s what the British playwright Howard Barker needs you to do during “Gary the Thief” and “Plevna: Meditations on Hatred,” his two short, dense plays produced by the Potomac Theater Project/NYC at Atlantic Stage 2. Theater is elastic, he reminds us, and proceeds to stretch our definitions of it. Mr. Barker, also a poet, describes his work as a Theater of Catastrophe in which, as it says in the program, “no attempt is made to satisfy any demand for clarity or the deceptive simplicity of a single message.” Indeed. These two pieces, written as poems
and delivered as monologues, come at you in a rush and can be
fragmentary and elusive. Don’t be surprised if you miss things. But also
don’t be surprised if Mr. Barker’s blunt lyricism lingers in your mind.
