I went to Die-Nasty today. I have to decide whether to get a season pass, and from what I saw, I don’t think I will.
It was good. The medieval times are set in the castle Downs. There is talk of war with the Scottish land of Bonnie Doon. (FYI In Edmonton, Bonnie Doon is a great neighborhood with a good mall, but I don’t have much experience with the neighborhood of Castle Downs.) Mark Meer is playing Richard Eye Eye Eye who is doing a good job of plotting against the queen who is in charge of the knights of the little table while the king is off to the ice crusades. But with all that going for it, one thing has made me lose enthusiasm in seeing more.
There was a great scene happening where Richard Eye Eye Eye was telling the queen how he was her loyal servant, and would gladly follow her rule. He continually drips with evil. Then director Dana Andersen did what annoyed me every time last year. Just when the scene was getting really interesting, he ended it. It would be okay if we ever came back to the scene, but we never do. The players just refer to what has happen, but we never see it. So we start with a new scene that I’m not interested in, and may never be.
I’ll save my money, and enjoy free time on Mondays.
