"The milk of human you-know-what has not featured prominently in the work of Adam Rapp, the prolific playwright better known for dystopian dramas sometimes flecked with grisly violence. Charity plays a marginally larger role in Mr. Rapp’s new play, suggestively titled “Kindness,” which opened on Monday night at the Peter Jay Sharp Theater at Playwrights Horizons. But the threat of a bloody conclusion — a hammer to the skull of a cancer victim, no less — still hovers vaguely in the background of this listless drama about two Midwesterners who forge unlikely friendships with a pair of New Yorkers."
