Americana Absurdum

Renegade Theatre Experiment

September 7-September 22, 2007

Avg. Event Rating (4.3 Stars): Add Review/Comment

This show celebrates the comic, vertiginous thrill of America in its many, fun-house mirror guises. A family-run funeral home business, a high-stakes courtroom arena, Irish lawyers, leprechauns, and a talking wolverine make up this bracing, comic work.

    With excellent comic timing, and a script that is a jaw dropping funny, the actors are able to create a sick and entertaining performance. Yes it's odd, yes it's random, yes it makes fun of every taboo in the book just about, but it does so with clever and witty language and self awareness. This may not be for everyone but particularly the second piece is really worth seeing for some very strong character performances and wonderful turns of phrase by the playwright. Collapse

    This show is funny. Really funny. It is a smart and humorus look at American culture which is very well acted and producted. A great way to spend the evening!
