Went and saw Poona again. I just loves me that fuckdog. And the handsome prince =p
Way more people at this performance. I guess there are moms that would like a nice bit of obscene theater.
The performance was probably better last week from a technical standpoint, with stumbled lines coming from more than one actor, but having a nearly full house gave the show a better energy in the end. A good afternoon spent.
Took some time sunday to check out Poona the Fuckdog, a very funny, very offensive play, currently showing in Seattle at the Open Circle theater. The character names should give you a clue whether or not it’d be for you… let’s just say there aren’t any words they won’t say during this play. They do a delightfully twisted version of Who’s on First for one character’s name. The whole play is full of short quick stories, all part of an overall theme of adult fairytale. It was good enough, I want to go back and check it out a second time. It’s the kind of play I wish more people would go see. Heck, I may buy people tickets to get them to go see it. Just not my parents.
Went with Q to see The Woman in Black. The quotes make it sound like it’s gonna be piss-your-pants scary. It was not.
Don’t get me wrong, I love it. Thought it was very entertaining, with a unique twist on the play within a play genre.
But it wasn’t scary. It had a lot of humor, actually.
The Open Circle Theater is an interesting space to see something in. It’s small, and the seating is split onto two sections at right angles, so the actors must always play to one side or the other. Center stage faces a structural beam. They serve liquor, and you can drink while watching the show, so that’s cool. The price seemed reasonable, only $8 per person.
