V.17 - PTE - Colin Jackson Studio 
What starts as a casual get-together between two couples soon takes a left turn as a series of events and unexpected revelations cause the couples to question their relationships, and even their reality.

Steve Martin's signature wit is on full display in this absurdist take on life, love and human connection. Expect the unexpected.

Meteor Shower

Hill Party Productions—PTE – Colin Jackson Studio

Inane irritating couple meets absurd annoying couple—then the mystery begins. I’m not the kind of person who watches a murder mystery and tries to figure out who-did-it through the show. I take things in as they occur. In Meteor Shower, the hints are very in-your-face, so you know there’s a twist to come; it’s a matter of figuring out what it is.

Listed at 90 minutes, the actual run-time is about 75 minutes and I suggest it could have been tightened to 60 minutes. There was enough to keep you engaged most of the time but a couple of scenes dragged a little longer than they needed to be.

There weren’t a lot of gags but the ones they had were giggly-cute.
