Spank Bank Time Machine
John Michael Plays—Théâtre Cercle Molière
John Micheal does not just ask you to grieve with him, he demands it. What is titled as a typical Fringe comedy act turned out to be one of the most intense, powerful pieces of theatre I have seen this year. It is not, however, for the faint of heart, and the audience I was with struggled to match his energy. Spank Bank Time Machine is, at its core, a grapple with loss, no matter how dirty and grotesque that can look. Angrily attacking a common issue in LGBT+ communities, this show is a chaotic, unpredictable disaster. Just like grief.
