'Open 24 Hours' Nuvo review

8/29/07

by Jim Poyser
Nuvo


An infectiously funny group of four actors perform five short plays. There are no bombs in the show — and a couple of the less successful pieces ("Scrambled," "Say No More") may get better over the course of the Fringe as the performers polish their performances. There's no saving the intrinsic logic flaw in "The Plunge," but kudos to the actors for the brave baring of their, ahem, souls. That leaves the meta-metaphoric delights of "Something Went Wrong," about a man named Harry who comes home with a dead clown, and "A Gay Thing," where Roach and Velotta play best friends, one gay, one straight, who discuss the straight one's gender preference confusion. "A Gay Thing" is the best of their show, very funny and perfectly paced.
