By Ernest Kearney — The first date that manages to spiral down from the awkwardness of the initial meeting into the flaming bowels of hell is not exactly a fresh concept. But when you have a cast of highly talented actors and a script where character and punch lines are soldered firmly with craft and intelligence — eh, who needs freshness?
We open with the imposing Del (Peter Fluet) and the dizzy Lorraine (Carrie Keranen) at the outset of their very first date. It is this excellent comic couple who will compel us along the murderous and constantly hilarious mayhem that follows.
While the roller coaster of the play’s twists and loops (provided by Fluet) is occasionally rocky, the ride is endlessly riotous.
So, for Producers Monica Greene and Leticia Grassi; Director Victor Isaac; fellow cast members Amanda Blake Davis, Jessie Bias, Van Ayasit, Ryan Gowland; Scott Golden for (I don’t know, really, maybe getting the coffee;) and especially Keranen and Fluet a Platinum Medal.*
