Review of 11 Central Ave #17
A polished, extremely well crafted verbal comic machine gun of everyday life.
This is a very good piece whose ping pong pace builds and weaves and knows when just to stop. Captures the rapid non sequiturs of a family on the move which always in a strange yet absurd way make perfect sense.
The men are great in this, kind of like a mildly inebriated greek chorus. Again there is great skill in that they don't go overboard
which gives it a multi dimensional feel of both being tongue in cheek and believably alive.
