Enjoyed this production very much. My only complaint was that it was very hot in the theater. The characters were hilarious and the plot was twisted and laugh-out-loud funny.
This production mainly kept my interest from beginning to end with only slight divergence into my own thoughts in the beginning, and was an enjoyable experience overall. The actor who played the part of Kenny was especially good. His character specifically seemed the most “believable” to me and seemed to resemble a real world situation. Furthermore, he was the most effective at gauging his performance to match the size of the audience. Overall the play was funny and engaging.
THe play is a bit wacky, however it seemed confusing at times, with not much funny after the first scene. I wanted it to be hilarious. The guy that played Richard, played him well, everyone played well. It was just an interesting interpretation.
With the help of her husband and a little scrapbook she rebuilds her life each day. But today is not her usual stroll down amnesia lane. From Claire's mother, a stroke victim, to a prison escapee with a puppet, to a half deaf limping man with a lisp, this wild ride of sickos and degenerates has the ability to make you seem really normal.
Fuddy Meers is directed by David Sein. The very talented cast includes Lisa Brindley as the amnesiac Claire, Ron Kubicek as her adoring husband Richard, Ken Light as the Limping Man, Elouise Potomac as Claire's stroke victim mother Gertie, John Lee as Millet, the escaped convict, Shelley Benoit as Heidi the hard nosed cop and Calvin Michaels as Kenny, Claire's angst ridden teenage son.
