In The Purple One, Maggie Gallant offers us a creative, absurd, and absolutely hilarious comedy. It features fast paced, witty dialogue that is not only deeply funny, but manages to remain coherent despite the interweaving of the conversation threads between Dylan and Lil and Dylan and Auber-Gene. Lil’s inability to see or hear Auber-Gene offers the audience a glimpse into the inherent dysfunction in her relationship with Dylan while also offering opportunities for hysterical physical comedy. I had the privilege to see this play performed and it was a crowd favorite from start to finish.

I love this! Utterly random, hysterically funny - but with depth to the characters, and some lovely subtext to a relationship that is already on the rocks even without a talking eggplant only one of them can hear. Delightful.
