Review by BRIGHT EYES

What I liked

The acting, the strangeness, wildly imaginative.

What I didn't like

Everything worked just fine.

My overall impression

Two fully realized short plays. In the first, a young man (probably a seminarian) has come to his middle-aged superior and spiritual adviser to seek her signature on an application to move to another divinity school. We quickly learn that he has waking wet dreams of sex with some kind of spirit and she talks directly to God. Fine acting, a mix of sex and sanctity, percussive sound effects and a riveting ending, this play is not for the squeamish. In the second play, which takes place at night, a wildly bewildered farmer brandishing a rifle is haunted by a phantom armadillo. He is rescued, sort of, from his peculiar madness by his son.
