AKA My Dinner with Tom Noonan, What Happened Was... is a real two-hander and a master class in how to keep things interesting and visual without really leaving what amounts to a single room. Everything, even the clutter, seems posed and relevant, and despite the close confines, the people in this space are often visually separated, highlighting their isolation. Essentially a very awkward date, the quite wonderful Karen Sillas and actor-director Noonan himself reach out for one another, but attempts at vulnerability and honesty come across as creepiness and an insurmountable misunderstanding of the other. The food looks weird. The stories they tell are alienating. Their insecurity off-putting. It's a heightened sense of what a first date is actually like, and some budding relationships never escape this feeling even weeks or months in. Which is to say, I find this very relatable. Other people are a whole other country and you're there without a road map. An intimate hidden gem!nbats
