Department of 'familiar metatheatrical gambits'

I had high hopes for "A Spanish Play," by Yasmina Reza, who did "Art," which I really liked. (I didn't see "Art" on Broadway, though; believe it or not, I saw it at the Weston Playhouse in Weston, Vermont.) But the monologues go almost nowhere, and the gimmick of filming the actors with a handheld camcorder and simultaneously projecting the footage against the back wall is weird and disruptive.
