The Barbarian Bombshells—Red River College Polytechnic

I struggled to remember this show only a few hours after seeing it. A problem I didn’t have with any of my other shows and it was my first, so I was fresh. After a lengthy warning about content by recording, Dana Graham took to the stage in a lovely red gown only to repeat word for word the same message. Besides being a waste of time, the warning was unnecessary, with the most scandalous thing occurring during her tale being a penis plopped in her hand. Rather tame by Fringe standards.

This supposedly true story is sold as a tale stranger than fiction. I call it a fairly normal weekend in my younger years. Dana is a competent actress, well rehearsed, but she came across as a disembodied voice due to her strange choice to be unlit during the show. I talked to the tech afterwards so as to be sure it wasn’t a glitch but he shrugged and said it was her choice.
