Fringe Festival 2005, Part 4

The final play of the day was just seen.

Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie: Washed Up
It’s the Dead Trolls! How could it be bad? Well, they show you. There was a documentary about the fringe being filmed during the performance. This added to the mounds of electronic equipment that the trolls used for their act. So the entire thing was asking for, and it got, technical difficulties. A lot of this was spoiled for me, because last Thursday I browsed to their site and saw a large chunk of what was in the show. The last half was taken up with a long act with puppets on a green screen that was based on name dropping. They had actually gotten their friends Nathan Fillion and Ron Pederson to do voices. But the skit lasted way too long, and wasn’t actually that funny. I also feel sorry for the little girl (presumably a daughter of one of the troupe) that was part of the act. She’s probably been scarred for life.
I want to recommend this as a good show, but I just can’t.
