Absurd Person Singular — Theatre Review

Here’s the beginning of a review I did for The Charlebois Post of a new play at the Rialto Theatre, which is being renovated to its original glory:

Absurd Person Singular, Alan Ayckbourn’s play about English manners directed by Corey Castle, is a really good laugh, and I have the numbers to prove it. In the seventies’ Broadway production, 374 chuckles, 125 belly laughs, and five “roll-em in the aisles,” were counted, for a total of 504 laughs. I didn’t count the laughs in last night’s show, but those numbers sound pretty close. We laughed not only because Ayckbourn’s lines are decidedly funny, but because the actors did such a splendid job of embodying characters who struggle to keep their public mask on while events conspire to show their true, private faces.

Theatre Review of I AM I — Wildside at the Centaur

Went to see Mike Czuba’a play, I AM I, last night, and wrote a review of it for the Charlebois Post.

“Don’t be afraid of the press line, “I AM I is an exploration into the duality of the modern man.” Mike Czuba’s play appearing now at the Wildside Theatre Festival is not nearly as cerebral as you might think. At the heart of it, I AM I is about a guy trying to get a girl. One side of him wants to jump her bones and the other wants to take it slow, to get to know her first.”
