My overall impression
Very fun ride giving a peek back to the 20s where the famed and funny hung out to eat, drink, and slice one another like a salami in a never-ending battle of wits. Wonderfully written piece by Steven Vlasak in which he’s able to weave a story of a young writer hoping to get discovered by the group with the actual wit of the real-life personas and then blended with his own. Three Clubs is a great setting for this play as the action takes place in the private area of a restaurant at a grand hotel – couldn’t have been better. Nice acting all around, especially Roz Stanley as Dorothy Parker who inhabited the character inside and out as Parker’s mind was rattled with booze, lust, and endless one-liners which she used deftly to defend her spot atop the hill above her male counterparts. Erin Jo Harris was also nicely understated and real as the brassy and grounded Sally. Nicholas Daly Clark as Robert Benchley also had such a wonderful voice and spin on his lines that I’d love to see more from Benchley if the play goes further. The live piano was fantastic, and huge kudos to Christine Vlasak for the fine detail and consistency of the period costumes. This show would not have been the same without it. The Parker costumes were especially stunning, and worn nicely with authenticity and power by Stanley. Highly recommend. Go!
