Picture if you will a perfect updating of a classic tale, made relevant for a modern audience. The "Time Enough at Last" episode is often parodied, but Blue's version retains the pathos for Beamish and adds an urgency to the tale of all the characters faced not with nuclear annihilation as in the original, but with a far more insidious fate, Wal-Mart and Post-Consumerism greed. The passionate, and sometimes graphic portrayal of a man deathly in search of even a moment of passion is enhanced by the theatre and its environs. Be brave. Set out from the safety of the Exit theatre complex, wade through the crowd at the El Rio, and once you have found the theatre, like our little friend Beamish, you will have entered The Twilite Zone.

All reviews are lies. This is a particular one. I first met m.i. blue's Twilite Zone earlier this year in a less dark than usual corner of the Mission. I liked it so much I said, "I want to produce this in the Fringe Fest". And then I shaved my head with a Wilkinson Blade Razor.

The point is, I was once like you, unsure of what this mutation of classic 50's weird-out television held for me. I was picked on. I was intolerant of my own lactose. I'm here to say it can be better. It will be. If you see this show and follow the subliminal instructions and post-hypnotic suggestions built into it, carefully.
