I AM AN UNABASHED FAN.. of Ann Noble.
Today's matinee by the seat of her pants and her stage pals, a slippity slap all good fun at a matinee was .. at once.. a Clowinish Trip and a taste of 1940s Noir...
These four actors are very skilled; though Sam Beckett has nothing immediately to worry about. This slightly absurd romp is a good trip into a Dark and Stormy Night .. Detective Jones types his short story effort.. I helped.
The slinky Biscuit (Noble) nicely balanced with the dead guy and Hopper Jones and Dinah, the secretary dance a wonky dance that blossoms in the tiny space with a full house! .
A commentary on dream life? A short play on odd circumstances?
The whole of Noble's Dead Man is the clever effort to toss ideas up into the air and see what happens.
The energy of the acotrs and accessible text... drew lots of laughs and a standing ovation as after a brief curtain call, Ms Noble quickly excused herself to head to Glendale to play Eruydike (the translation changed some spelling) in the Antaeus production of Sophocles's Antigone.. also recommended
Highlyy recommended
