If
it's true that men think about sex every six seconds, then according to
Andrew Gillman's needle-sharp stream-of-consciousness comedy, they're also
thinking a lot about shame, Curly Wurlys, thongs, and Blue Peter badges.
Caught between his inner Lothario ("Nice tits !") and his Inner Child ("Escape.
Blend in. Hide") in this clever, pared-down triptych, our Everyman hero
is desperately trying to get through an ex-girlfriend's birthday party without
breaking a sweat or bursting into tears. Lone actor Bruce MacKinnon anchors
this conceit by delivering the three warring interior monologues with a
breezy, unselfconscious relish. |
