My overall impression
I really dug this set of 2 one-acts set in a post-apocalyptic LA.
THEBONEYARD
Solid direction and staging. Great push-pull relationship between the characters. Fantastic physical work by Joseph Tomasini in the shovel sequences. Plus, Kate Huffman’s character was incredibly well-defined; you could feel her struggle between love and selfishness.
TALISMAN
Dreamy/nightmare/near-death scenes sometimes have a tendency to drag, but they kept the pace moving at the June 8 show and sucked me into the reality of the surreality… These types of scenes aren’t usually my favorite, but I bought in.
Plus, the transition piece between the one-acts was alternately unsettling and physically impressive.
