Ankle
productions introduce 'Cast Aside'.
We meet the cast of a new ground breaking 4-member production of
an adaptation of 'The Merchant of Venice'.
Along
with the camp crap company assistant and the moronic, megalomaniac who
thinks he is a director. We meet the four performers who all have egos,
alter egos and pretensions, each one is at stages as obnoxious as the
other.
You
get to laugh at these luvvies attempting to out do each other, the
typical twee remarks fly, undercurrents threaten to bubble over and
relationships are forged. We see a side of the business I hope doesn’t
exist, but suspect it does.
The
cast members are, Edward Hancock, Magnus McCullagh, Will Railton,
Frances Brennand Roper, Alice Sander and David Stephenson. Written by
Charlie Brafman based on an original play by Ben Brafman and Dan Lerner.
The
other audience members laughed outrageously I thought it mildly amusing
but that was only my opinion.
