Keith PowersCorrespondentGLOUCESTER - You hate the characters in Theresa Rebeck’s “Seared” so much, you end up respecting them.

Director Victoria Gruenberg strove to introduce some pace to the overheated action, but these capable actors kept getting supercharged over gnocchi. His transformation in the kitchen ultimately tries to heal the shattered relationships - far too late for the audience to care.
