Two nights in a row of not making up enough time to meet up with a friend is straining this tenuous relationship. Dying at each passing minute past the agreed. With Kings Cross station stuck with no trains so very close to midnight and at a 41 minute wait, it smashes to ruins future excursions.
Fuddy Meers, playing at the Darlinghurst Theatre Company, is a strange affair into a day in the life of Claire, a woman with psychogenic amnesia. The kind that wipes the memory clean on each morning.
Heavy American accents and references abound in this little production. The characters are varied and a little all over the place. The sight of bright lights shot straight into the eyes of the audience is rather disorientating. They smoke some dope and ramble on in a "roller coaster" as they scramble to put some semblance into this particular day. A day in which reasons as to Claire's amnesia surface. First time in a long time.
Quaint comes to mind, as does the occasional laugh throughout the night. Not entirely a strong point, they rely on a foul-mouthed puppet for a lot of the shock value. And he really goes off at the mouth. The rest of the actors try and put forth a concerted effort into making points of the play really stick out, like waiting for expectant laughs and such.
