It takes more than a few scenes to figure out what’s going on in Josh Hecht’s enigmatic production of “The Personal(s),” put on by the No Rules Theatre Company. When we first meet Don (Michael Kramer), he’s rehearsing a droll little magic act onstage in his all-but-vacant pub, save for the sole member of his audience — his bartender.

It’s obvious that the man who pours the drinks has seen this routine many times before, and with that blurry introduction, we’re fed a series of abstract scenes pieced together by the notion that here is a trio of people well-acquainted with one another, and there is the forced pretense of a couple earnestly trying to reconnect after something has been lost between them.
