 My Dinner With Dick         Once Was

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.
