Directed and Dramaturged by Byron Laviolette
Morro and Jasp return to The Brick with a new show. The clown girls, who unabashedly shared their puberty with us last year, take us along on a trip to the beach for Spring Break. And you know what that means...
We first encounter the duo in their over-packed "car" on the road. Their battle over control of the radio is epic, funny and really well timed. Their reactions to each other immediately illuminate their characters and relationship. The conflict between them eventually leads to disaster after disaster. They are funny and frenetic.
Annis and Lee are not afraid to frankly reveal the interests of their characters. They are interested in sex, drinking, self-fulfillment and sports. We laugh because we are embarrassed, but Morro and Jasp are not, so we can go ahead and enjoy ourselves. It is brave writing and performance.
The energy of both characters is consistently high and tense throughout. The show could do with some breath. They could allow the tender and emotional moments to truly be tender and emotional. It would give the audience a chance to truly connect more deeply with them.
Go see Morro and Jasp. They will take you on a wild ride!
Only one more show:
Sunday 9/18 at 7 pm
