In the latest comic meditation from renowned playwright Murray Mednick, The Fool and the Red Queen experiments with archetypes to explore human nature and the processes of theater. A struggling actor named Gary finds himself at a nightmarish audition where the audience discovers the magical ability of the theater to create new realities -- in this case, a darkly funny and improvised play-within-a-play similar to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Marie and Bruce. Driven by poetic impulse rather than linear storytelling, The Fool and the Red Queen is a ruefully funny, lyrical look at the theater and the natural elements that drive us all. Learn More

Honest, heartfelt, and creatively delivered is how I would describe my experience Friday night after being captivated by the performance, "Stop Kiss." I really did not feel as though I was even watching a performance, rather I was peering into a moment in time, that was both personal and politically loaded.Written on Nov 21 2011
The intimate cast, stage, and creative use of the space provided an uncluttered setting, which allowed me to focus on the essence of the story. For example: A hospital scene, using one simple, humming, florescent light to transport me to an uncomfortable and sterile environment. Which was then strengthened by the actress Emma Jacobson-Sive's dead-on uneasy quiver in her voice, the hesitation in her answer's the quickness of her retreat from such a space (without giving anything away). Or the simple use of a stack of drawers to communicate a small New York Apartment; coupled with great dead-pan wit again carried by the cast that had the whole audience laughing along.
The acting in this play was very effective in it's simplicity and believability. It was as though I knew these people, and was allowed to experience the vulnerability of a relationship, in all of it's ugliness and love...not to mention HUMOR. The cast had a true bond, and it was felt in the audience, so as that there was no disconnect between them and us. The laughs, pain, anger, and compassion were tangible, and I am typically a skeptic of stage acting.
Please attend this play and experience what I did....laugh, cry, lose yourself in a great performance.

I went to this on the recommendation of a friend. I have never written a comment on a website or a review in my life. This was such an extraordinary production, I have to shout it from the roof tops, in support of small theatre. The creativity in every aspect of this show is stunning, from the set to the sound and music, direction and acting! It was a rollercoaster ride. Over before I knew what hit me. I was so moved I walked to my car and cried. Go see this play !! I promise you will enjoy it!!!!Written on Nov 19 2011
