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. |
