Words escape me.

In two responses posted on the Plank web site, audience members mention the desire they felt to walk out of this show. While I may have had the impulse, I stayed glued to my seat for its duration, jaw dropped.

Oh Dear. Oy Calcutta!

There's something sexy about being around a person who performs a job well. A friend and I once compared notes about being impressed – and somewhat turned on – by being a passenger in a vehicle when the driver had to respond quickly and adroitly to black ice on the road (in my case) or a deer stumbling out of nowhere (in her case). Effortlessly expert performance is hot, baby.

Reviewers note: I am not a fan of musicals. I have performed in a few, designed several more and once upon a time I ran lights for a couple of the big ones in a city far, far away. When you hear the same songs night after night for months on end you begin to enter one of two categories: love, or hate. That’s when you know if you like musicals or not, there is no middle ground.

Well. It seems my failings are now tied inextricably to this Marvel of Manhood. I was charged with seeing this show on sept 6th (I did), and write a review (I did...36hours later…bad me).

Vancouver Fringe Festival: the final countdown, your thoughts and the rice krispie incident

You mean every show?

It’s no secret; the young cast of Confessions: Three Monologues is extremely talented.

Three Monologues

“The term refers to a particular type of play which first became popular during the 1950s and 1960s and which presented on stage the philosophy articulated by French philosopher Albert Camus in his 1942 essay, The Myth of Sisyphus, in which he defines the human condition as basically meaningless. Camus argued that humanity had to resign itself to recognizing that a fully satisfying rational explanation of the universe was beyond its reach; in that sense, the world must ultimately be seen as absurd.”  — Jerome P. Crabb
