at OpenStage Theater:
Peter and Agnes getting to know each other
With Rebecca Spafford as Agnes and Brian Landis Folkins as Peter; this is a play about paranoia and bugs! And it came with the label: “Bug contains nudity and strong adult themes and language; those ages 16 and younger will not be admitted”
“There’s an insect egg sac implanted under my tooth!”
Besides nudity, drugs and violence there was a self-extracting tooth scene and lots of fake blood all over the place.
Agnes and her lesbian biker friend
This was another of our theater picks for the FoCo Newcomer’s club; I just had to see something called Bug and I got a group of twelve to experience it with me!
First there was a little bit of itching
…Then a bit more. Some self-inflicted wounds appear by the end of the first act. The bugs are everywhere on the stage by the beginning of the second act!
This play really worked. I believe I saw a few of the audience members begin to scratch and swat imaginary flies as we left the theater. Also, just having the government implanted notions of bugs under you skin was not enough! Peter began raving like this Fort Collins citizen about stuff like The Bilderberg Group and the real reason there is radioactive Americium in your home smoke detector.
Next month we’re going to see the musical comedy Native at the Nonesuch; it better be funny!
