My Dinner With Dick

Synopsis:
In what might be subtitled Sideways, but with beer, two men in their 5th decade ' sun-dappled billabongs in a man drought ' ponder their 30,000+ days of existence, and whether a four-course meal can be prepared with only the aid of a toaster. A play that's so funny they almost put it in the Comedy section of the Fringe guide; but then they put it back in the Theatre section cos it's so artistic and deep. No really that's a true story. "My Dinner With Andre", the 1981 Louis Malle movie of the Wallace Shawn play, took audiences by surprise by doing something that had scarce been done before: the whole film was simply two guys talking, in a restaurant, for 2 hours. Just, y'know, talking about stuff. MY DINNER WITH DICK takes that very same premise and toys with it. First, they've shaved half an hour off the running time - phew! Secondly, although it is based on Currin and West's real-life shambolic conversational habits, it throws in a desperate bid to save the world as we know it, a mysterious appearance by the ghost (OR IS HE REAL?!?!?!) of a well-known author, a brain-damaging breakdown of reality as we know it, and a 5-course buffet based entirely around toast. So.. yeah... it's actually not very similar.

Who Murdered Love?

Synopsis:
Who Murdered Love? is a musical comedy with serious overtones set in 1924 New York City and in a Paris dreamscape. The story follows WWI veteran and Private Detective Sleepy Sam Speed, Gail Friday, and Everett Greene as they attempt to unravel the disappearance and possible murder of DaDa Love, at the behest of stunning client heiress Honey Potts. DaDa Love is at the center of the world of Dada artists at the time when the surrealists are vying for artist's supremacy. Their quest leads the trio through a mad adventure, sparked by artistic and sexual jealousy, as they find themselves inside an Absinthe dream peopled by outrageous artists of every sexual stripe-some of who are very predatory, indeed!
