Take a trip to the Fringe's Legoland Vancouver Courier, p. 29,
|
Legoland: Danish theme parks be damned. Legoland is the wonky tale of two creepily precocious teens--Penny and Ezra--and their journey from Saskatchewan hippie commune to Florida hip-hop bar to the stages of the Fringe. Dressed in a private school uniform, 16-year-old Penny delivers her scattershot sermon on juvenile delinquency under the supervision of her social worker and with the assistance of her caped brother in order to avoid doing community service. |
What follows is a Ritalin-fuelled tour de force that touches on Nietzsche, home schooling, teen angst, Catholic guilt, boy bands, the ukulele, McDonald's Happy Meals, shotgunning beer, gangsta rap, cannibalism, the true meaning of love and all parts in between. Wildly inventive, well acted, and laugh-out-loud funny, this energetic production from the peeps at Victoria's Atomic Vaudeville and written by Jacob Richmond is an offbeat charmer not to be missed. |
