Close your eyes and listen to the sound of the waves, feel the sun on your skin, have a pina colada, smell the coconut oil. A couple baking happily on the sand seems to have found paradise until their life is turned upside down by a beautiful girl in bikini who has a thing for fruit salad and eastern philosophy. And what about the handsome waiter in a speedo? This is how a day at beach turns into existential panic. Two floundering people struggle to figure it all out-literally-in this new comedy about love, sex, and the meaning of life by award-winning playwright Charles A. Duncombe. Top Ten!
Michel's staging balances the humor and pathos with equal panache and her cast does not equivocate. Beyer and Thompson hold our sympathy as the angst-ridden couple, and they deliver Duncombe's machine-gun dialogue with skill and flamboyance.
Stage Raw WOW!
Impressively acted by a skin-revealing cast of four....Amazing...a hoot!
Stage Scene LA Take about a pound of Pirandello and a pinch of Beckett, add zest of Zen blend hot Existential angst, shake well, toss in a gorgeous [girl in a] teeny weeny string bikini [and] we have Lift Off!
On Stage Los Angeles Who ever heard of an existentialist rom com?....This is a fun idea. More though, it is a funny show....both broad and subtle....Genuinely delightful as well as silly (and painfully true).
The World Through Night Tinted Glasses A fast paced comical drama...leaning toward a lot of life's questions that hold no answers. And that's the best part!
Accessibly Live Off-Line Where is happiness found if not on a beach? It is that irony that is the center-piece to the theatrical excitement and excellently florid script of Beach People....which sings in the laughable absurdity of being inundated in such a technologically complex world whereby no one has any idea of how any of it all works.
