Kings of the Universe: Busting Guts, True Believers
With a pair of gut-bustingly funny solo shorts, Kings of the Universe Louis Wells and Chris Alonso stick their fingers in every dessert on the display tray, then refuse to order any : and that's satire.
Pride's Crossing: Shimmering Waters
Script-wise, Pride's Crossing is PBS-esque : one of those wistful period pieces about a lively old woman looking back on her privileged youth : but throw a bunch of charming actors into the mix and hip director Sarah Richardson, and you get a show happily at odds with this Masterpiece Theatre-worthy tale.
A Clockwork Orange: Re-Sexing the Orange
It's a pretty cool choice to produce a stage version of such a popular filmed story as A Clockwork Orange, and while there's plenty of enthusiasm in the performance of this Fabulous and Ridiculous Theatre production, director AnnaCatherine Rutledge's transgendered take on the tale doesn't quite pull this raskazz into belief-suspending terrorism.
