(2:37 AM) | Adam Kotsko:
Adam Robinson's Play Was Excellent
The play was absolutely hilarious. The range of jokes put The Simpsons to shame -- we got everything from a ghost slipping on a banana peel to a discussion of Anselm. The plot was surprising without seeming contrived, and dramatic irony abounded. He managed to pull off the "meta" thing without constantly turning knowing glances toward the audience.The dialogue was excellent, and the primarily amateur cast put on a surprisingly tight performance. Of special note was Mike ______'s performance as frat boy Mikey Severs, Monica Bennett's as the brainy J. (with an excellent disguise of wig and glasses that kept me and many of her friends from recognizing her for several scenes), and Jonathan Burke's as Professor Moriartey.
This was likely the first and last production of the play, at least with this cast in this venue. It's a shame you couldn't have been there.
