What fun! Don't miss this one--your last chance is Sunday at 3 pm.
The secret meeting of the The Resistance has assembled. Our three leaders, each more inept than the next, attempt to organize themselves and us. And the secret is that the meeting is secret.
They sport no red noses, but make no mistake, these clowns are perfect idiots (and I mean that in the best of ways). I apologize for the list that follows, but it seems the simplest way to let you know how satisfying it was to watch this show. They:
- have clearly defined status--the classic one, two, three
- complete one task (although they do get distracted) before going on to the next.
- constantly get in their own way
- misunderstand each other and themselves
- try really hard and then complicate their mistakes
- find creative solutions to their problems
- react emotionally and then escalate their emotions
- share their entire stage life with the audience
- include us in the action
- have impeccable timing
- breathe
- HAVE THE BEST TIME OF THEIR LIVES
On top of that, they are ready improvisors, and good physical actors. They include some real skill turns that are seamlessly written into the action and plot. Frazier's turn with four rolling chairs is brilliant!
I could have wished for a clearer set of steps to the ending dance party, but that is quibbling. This show is written, performed and directed masterfully.
I would go again if I could, just to see what they will do with another audience on another day. I know it will be alive and FUNNY!
