My overall impression
Here is the Greatest Test of Love told in an allegory about loss where in England a deeply beloved wife, fearful of the baying hounds of a Fox Hunt, is suddenly transformed into a fox. Her husband, knowing he must protect her from danger, takes desperate action. And so a series of tragic events follow. Worst of all, for him, is the losing of her as she gradually forgets her human form and becomes totally a fox. Told in a multi-structured form, the three actors talk to us to explain what’s going on, then artfully transform into the characters – with one of them impersonating myriad forms. Claire Kaplan is liquid in her movements as woman and fox, Nathan Turner is firm but bewildered as her protective husband, while Spencer Devlin Howard is bossy as a domestic Nurse and sweet as some other endangered animals. Watch for this deeply moving show in future venues.
