'The Worst Show In The Fringe' Nuvo review
8/26/09
Nuvo Magazine
by Brooks Frederickson
Three Stars
“How does one review a show that mirrors one’s life so closely?” This was a
question I asked myself a number of times while watching this show. The show
is about a critic, Nathaniel Kent (played by Ken Gist), being confronted by
an actor, Thomas Wayne (played by Kevin Roach), whose one-man show he had
given a scathing review. The simple question of “Why did you give my show
such a bad review?” leads the two, as well as the “common man” Biff (played
by Shaun Beal) on a rotating ride of captive/captor. Gist and Roach
sometimes got caught up on their fast-paced dialogue, especially when it
came to larger strings of multisyllabic words. I’m not sure if I’m giving
this show three stars because I enjoyed it, or because I fear I, too, might
end up tied to a chair if I give it a lesser rating.
