Who's on First
February 15- March 2, 2008
Directed by: Mike Deaton
By Jack Sharkey
Take a husband, wife, lover and friend, add a strange lamp, a gun and a rubber chicken plus a party that begins at 8PM, then again at 8PM and then again at 8PM and you have the basic idea about this nightmare comedy. Mike Deaton, who directed the 2006 production of Arsenic & Old Lace, directed this show once before for the Newton Community Theatre in 1988.
Four people find themselves reliving one horrible hour over and over as themselves, as Japanese, as British aristocrats, as gangsters, and almost anything else you can think of. Camille is giving the party, and each of the guests shows up with their own motives for the evening. After a sequence of hilarious events, Camille wishes things had turned out differently, and they find themselves back at the beginning, doomed to live the same hour over and over until they get it right. Is it all an accident? Or is their dilemma part of someone's fiendish plan? A labyrinth of hilarity exits to a shocker of an ending.
