Second day at the Fringe deals with some heavy topics in disarming ways yyc yycarts
Whiteford’s staging of the play is as clever and witty as the dialogue she has given Ophelia. All the other characters are dressed in black and gold and move and speak like marionettes adding another great level of humour, especially for people who consider Shakespeare as being stilted or prosaic.
It’s a great premise, not only for comedy but for fleshing out some insights into such topics as gender, boundaries and sexually transmitted diseases, which writers Sophie Underwood and Kiley Verbowski attempt to do. One of the most inventive moments of the play happens when a sex puppet is missing, forcing Wesley and Espinoza to improvise using a hoodie. A great deal of creativity did go into this show but it still needs more reworking and rethinking.
Going All the Way, which runs in the Lantern Church basement, gets some big laughs, but there is potential for so many more.Karen Solomon, the character Sarah Gibbs has created for her solo show Solomon, is a woman of contradictions which makes her so interesting.
