White Collar Crimes—The Rachel Browne Theatre
Based on the audience around me, I’m far in the minority but I don’t find this show nearly as entertaining as the rest of the crowd. The jokes range from inane to absurd, hokey to clumsy. There’s a lot of repetition and frankly, once is enough. They self-describe their act as “physical buffoonery” and I
think that nails it—they’re a couple of buffoons acting as buffoons. The shadow puppet show offers some nice imagery but that’s about all I get from the show.
I’m sure most people will enjoy this show but if you’re like me and you want deep and intelligent humour, there’s none to be found here. If you want rampant wackiness, you’re at the right place.
Warning: this show runs late so if you’re in a hurry to make the next play, be sure you sit close to the door. It may take a while to get out of here.
