Play: Do the Clam
Reviewer: Kim
3 Stars
First, you should know this is not what's described in the program, which was a pleasant suprise -how often do we see something without previewing it? I gave it three stars because I liked the abstractness of what I was seeing - a different world that I didn't know about and some good characters - but it could use some more work, the end feels rushed. I still think it's worth seeing.

I really wanted to like this show. The first ten minutes were brilliant - just the sort of random, absurd comedy that I typically like. Despite the promising start, the play started to bog down as additional - and less interesting - characters were introduced, and eventually the story, and the characters, seemed to go nowhere - slowly. However, even then there were some brilliantly crafted lines, witty comebacks, and pithy jokes that I enjoyed. There is potential to craft the skeleton of this play into a better work. The actors were all strong and commited to what they were doing. Maybe just one good revision of the plot might be all they need to move this show up a notch, or a star, as it were.

the wonderful self aware world of a play after a play that simply was not good enough for this group of talented people. can you pity and laugh simultaneously? i didnt think i would ever want to, but having tasted highfalutin artistry here, i want to return to each remaining show learning a nuanced taste beyond the satisfaction of a dilettante in seeing a show once, to write a real review.
Do the Clam rokx!!
