The Method Gun (Rude Mechs)

If seeing experimental theatre is hit or miss, this was a miss. Full of silliness and empty of structure, its humor depends upon the audience having prior experience with acting exercises. The final scene with the swinging lamps was luminous.

See the New York Times article linked to this post's title for a useful assessment of Rude Mechs' creative project.

I won't pass on another opportunity to see this ensemble; I simply hope the production is less solipsistic.

Recommend. With caveats.
