Laying Out is this intriguing blend of comedy and drama, crafted by Joanna Arnow. It presents a unique take on gender roles through the lens of two mermaids, which already sets it apart. The pacing feels deliberately languid, mirroring the beach setting, allowing for these candid conversations to unfurl organically. There’s a certain charm in the practical effects, as the mermaid personas stay playful yet poignant. The dialogue is sharp, revealing frustrations and desires that many might relate to but seldom voice. It’s kind of refreshing, really, to see characters just lounging and chatting, exposing their vulnerabilities in a setting that’s supposed to be carefree but is anything but.
