Fringe Festival 2007, Part 4

More plays!

The Headshot of Dorian Grey

Good play. Basically Office Space for theatre actors. It’s the annual David Belke romantic comedy; You can’t go too wrong with it.(7 out of 10)

WATER

The people in this troupe are awesome at story-telling. They did a fabulous job with “Letter’s in Wartime” last year. When they describe the war it is perfectly vivid. Unfortunately, they don’t play to their strengths here. It is a bunch of skits all dealing with water. It does get kind of preachy at times. But when they tell the story of a WWII pilot landing in the English Channel, you are there. (6 out of 10)

Napoleon’s Secret Diary

I didn’t particularly care for this. The premise is that France’s greatest general is an idiot and he has bumbled his way through history. And if they had stuck with that, it would have been better. But near the end, he starts showing signs of intelligence and it is harder to find him funny. I’m all about the funny. (5 out of 10)
