Cupidity

By Jessica Fitzpatrick

Cupidity is a cute one-woman show about a Annie, a woman obsessed with the idea of love. She wants it and she has all sorts of ideas about exactly how she wants it unfold and feel. Never mind that all of her ideas conspire to failure, informed by romantic films and her own sometimes strange imagination. This is a cute show and Jessica Fitzpatrick is a charming performer. Although some of the jokes were too on the nose, overall, Cupidity is a fun, feel-good show. For instance, at one point, Annie informs us that her married life will unfold “like a sitcom.” This particular moment would have been funnier had she just shown us her married life being like a sitcom instead of telling us. Give the audience a bit more credit – we get things! We can make connections! However, overall, this show was quite a delight to watch and provided many a chuckle.
