Score: 7
Short Review: Solid
the kitten factory’s rendition of David Mamet’s “Duck Variations” was a good, solid performance. Whilst not being the touret-inspired dialog of some of Mamet’s later works, the dialog still belts along at a fair clip – covering the fourteen variations of duck-inspired existentialism in a little under 45 minutes.
Simon McCarthy and Christopher Parker don’t fail their characters, and the set is delicious – real lawn! This is certainly worth a look if you’re out that side of town.
“Better than nothing… well, a close second.” ;)
First sniff was too good. Lawn on the inside. So much better than fake green carpet covering. You may be supprised but it made a difference. Full points to Munns for supporting this act. Loved the dialog and mused along with the cast. Would recommend 75%
