01.10.25 - Like a lost chapter of Holy Grail, this Python-esque side-splitter from David Lipschutz takes questing to new levels of hilarity. The hapless hero, tortured more by the mischievous Narrator than any beasts he encounters endures one humiliation after another, and each redo is funnier than the next. I'd love to see this staged (if only to see the actual beasts realized). His final fate is a masterstroke. Or at least, cause for a stroke. For him, that is...

I love the silliness of Lipschutz's parody of adventure games and fantasy tales. There are sight gags, sound gags, and plenty of funny lines throughout. And I love that it's clear Lipschutz loves these things he's making fun of -- this comedy is silly and breezy, a salute to those games and tales.

I have the pleasure of directing this play for the upcoming Ludington Area Center for the Arts short play festival this May. The actors are having a blast, and keeping me and each other in stitches! This is a ton of fun and a sure crowd pleaser!
