Goner
Thursday, January 05, 2006 through Saturday, January 28, 2006
The President gets shot...and then the fun begins. An antic black comedy by Brian Parks.
Length: 1 hr 05 mins
Intermission: None
Seating: General Admission
You choose your seats when you get to the theater.
An assassination attempt thrusts the President of the United States into the care of three screwball doctors, while a pair of manic FBI agents hunt down a conspiracy. A play like this comes along only once a season. Twice if you're schizophrenic.
"Goner is injecting one of the year's dreariest
months with enough laughs to last till spring.”
-- The New York Times
"American satire at its sick, twisted best...'Goner' is performed in a controlled frenzy of firework acting by a brilliantly sharp cast." -- The Guardian (U.K.)
"Goner" is directed by John Clancy and stars David Calvitto, Bill Coelius, Leslie Farrell, Patrick Frederic, Jody Lambert, Matt Oberg, and Jona Tuck.
More critical praise, for "Goner" at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival:
"Anyone who thinks that satire has gone soft, should go see 'Goner'...The dialogue, delivered at breakneck pace, is scalpel-sharp while the acting is excellent. Quite, quite brilliant." -- The Independent
"There are more quotable, wickedly funny lines per minute here than most comedies manage in an hour." -- Metro |
