Edmonton actors take on absurdist theatre - Edmonton Sun
"This is a cast (under director Dave Horak's knockabout guidance) that gets it, knows where the laughs are and keeps a vehicle that could wear out its welcome fairly fast, bubbling away for an hour and twenty minutes. Clancy's adaptation is gloriously and baroquely foulmouthed, using profanity as punctuation until the weirdly theatrical use of the familiar words begins to sound almost like poetry." "Fiercely Funny." Fatboy at the Roxy - Edmonton Journal "Director Horak stages his more-is-more Edmonton Actors Theatre production as a sort of vaudeville of clown grotesques, on a wonky old-fashioned stage (designer: Scott Peters) with a red-velvet curtain that’s seen better days. It’s a veritable human Punch and Judy puppet theatre, with highly amusing costumes and precisely choreographed violence (by Leah Paterson) to match." |
