I love the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. I have been lucky enough to have attended twice and I can’t wait to get back for more. It is so exciting to see theatre done in every square inch of the city! Theatre 5959 brings some of those events to its theatre in July as they prepare to pack their bags and head to Scotland for the festival in August. It’s is a great place to truly see the good, bad and ugly of performance art and theatre. It is all about the no-budget, no-setting, living a dream kind of theatre.

I am a baked potato. This is no joke. I am a baked potato. Sometimes you go to theatre just because it is there – and tonight was that night. This production of The Flying Doctor by Moliere was advertised in the smallest of print in the most hidden column of the recent Time Out magazine. It took place in the backroom of a tiny gallery in Chinatown and promised a glass of champaign. I’m in! Continue reading The Flying Doctor by Moliere→

NO 💉 out of 5. ☠ TOTAL POISON
My god almighty, what the hell did I just see? When I was a tyro to the world of theatre I was fascinated by the Off Off Off Off Broadway plays pasted together by good intentions and a dollar fifty. I loved to see the raw, exposed work of those obviously unseasoned actors working in warehouses, cafeterias, pubs and even elevators. “THIS is theatre, I thought.” But truly what the hell happened at 4pm on a Saturday afternoon?!?

At the Table
produced by Fault Line Theatre
written and directed by Michael Perlman
Here Theatre

The off-off-off-off-off world of NYC theatre produces a one-of-a-kind experience – – a play done completely out of passion! At the Table tells the story of a group of mis-matched acquaintances agreeing to spend a few days out in the country away from their busy city lives. It came off a bit like an episode of Real Life – where MTV would place a small group of people in a confined space with obviously pre-chosen types that will collide in fights and fits of passion all for the delight of the audience. What I love about At the Table is the very close proximity of the audience. I was literally closer to the dining table then some of the characters AT the dinner party! Continue reading At the Table→
