Liza Hochberg is young, beautiful, sexy, smart (in some areas), creative and Jewish. She's fallen hard for a Sam Besser, a guy in her writing group. He's a young, emotionally unavailable, handsome poet. Luna Allergash is Liza's bossy alcoholic lesbian roommate. All three become entangled in a destructive love triangle enshrouded in a web of emails, poetic diatribes and gallons of Jim Beam.

World of Theater Explored in The Fool and the Red Queen

Full Price:
$25.00
Our Price:
$12.50

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

This is a tonally confused play, and I understand why after reading the playwright's bio. It was originally written as a one-act, nearly award-winning - and the first act was indeed very funny, even with a few too many literary allusions.

And then there was the second act. Not funny. Pretty depressing, actually. The characters who once looked quirky began to look shallow and nasty. It was a strange turn. Those three stars are for the first act, and the good acting (which managed to keep from one act to the next).

Sometimes a one-act is just a one-act.

Quotes & Highlights

  • "Fielding Edlow’s The Something-Nothing is a hilarious, biting, highly original look at a 20-something love triangle in pre-9/11 New York City. For comedy laced with a bit of snake venom, The Something-Nothing can’t be beat." --stagescenela.com

Description

From Fielding Edlow, the writer of the one-woman show Coke Free- J.A.P., is a new play about a destructive love triangle between a raging people-pleaser, Mr. sensitive ponytail man and a bossy drunk lesbian. Set in the West Village, these completely lost 27 year-old narcissists are enshrouded in a web of e-mails, poetic diatribes and gallons of Jim Beam.
