My overall impression
Lamprey is an over the top, outlandish, buddy-cop gone wrong thrill ride. It is non-stop and the gags come fast and furious. There are so many aspects of this play that wouldn’t work if the cast weren’t 100% committed to the outrageous mannerisms and circumstances they find themselves in. Director Victor Isaac has cast this show beautifully, so instead of coming across as absurd, Peter Fluet’s script comes across as funny. Much of this is thanks to the indomitable performance of Carrie Keranen in the leading role of Lamprey and Pete Kaslavka in the role of her husband, the quintessential straight man. In a world of explosions, yelling and betrayal he is the quiet reminder that Romp and Roll is in the morning. If over the top camp is not your thing, this is not the show for you. For everyone else – #SeeItLa
