By Ernest Kearney — Larry Davidson’s one-man show, The Undiscovered Country – A Skeptic’s Guide to the Afterlife is rife with gimmicks – puppets, magic tricks, Judge “Jewry,” multi-medium, tarot cards and audience participation.
Some of it works, most of it doesn’t.
What does work, and works very well, is Davidson himself.
And the show works best when it is just him, telling us about an event we all will face sooner or later, and telling us with a sincerity and wry humor that wins us over right from the start.
A teacher, well into middle age, Davidson never dreamt he’d write and perform in a solo show at the Hollywood Fringe.
And then on June 21, 2019 he died.
But he got better.
This is the core of Davidson’s story: his near-death experience and how it changed his world.
He is, in many ways, an “everyman.”
And his show is at its strongest when it’s him, the truth and death.
A SILVER MEDAL.
