NEW YORK _ There's very little happy talk _ not even much pleasant talk _ in Jesse Eisenberg's new play, which, for dubious reasons, he calls "Happy Talk."
Getting its world premiere in a New Group production at the Pershing Square Signature Center, the perplexing piece by the actor best known for playing Mark Zuckerberg in the 2010 film "The Social Network" meanders for nearly two, intermissionless hours without really going anywhere.
When this work was first announced, the title was "Yea, Sister!" No clue where that came from, but the current title references a song in "South Pacific" (explanations to come).
