Review Woolly Mammoth Hell Meets Henry Half Way 2009 02 08

I LOVED IT. This was a funny,clever, well paced, well acted, well staged comedy.

GO SEE IT.

Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company
641 D Street NW, Washington, DC

text by Adriano Shaplin,
after POSSESSED by Witold Gombrowicz
directed by Dan Rothenberg
created & conceived by PIG IRON THEATRE COMPANY

Famed Philadelphia theatre company Pig Iron transforms a gothic mystery into an orgiastic celebration of nihilism. As a prince lies dying, his bitter secretary schemes, an alchemist conjures, and an egocentric tennis coach moves in on the ladies. An existential classic explodes into delicious darkness and antic acrobatics.

Can't stand Woolly Mammoth productions, they're all pure camp.

Really? I've been to two and found them both well done and good entertainment.

Not even half a shot of a half Henry? To bad.

Nice review though in both meaniings of the word.

It's not permitted to take photos of the stage during the show, or I would. I didn't see the actors after the show. Too bad for me.

Bill, another comedy I would recommend if you ever get the chance..."Bat Boy", based on the recurring headlines in the old Weekly World News papers. Saw it three times and loved it each time.
