Get Out Thursday: blahblahblahBANG @ OTB

Those crazy kids at WET have put Ibsen's Hedda Gabler on a crash diet -- the subtitle is "A Pistol Fit in One Act" -- and added what they call "dance and circus vocabulary" to the mix. According to the Weekly,

The show is “movement intense,” says director Jennifer Zeyl; actors can and do literally run up the walls.

So it won't be your usual neurotic drawing room drama, where people stand there stiffly and occasionally gesture. Directed by Jennifer Zeyl, the adaptation was written by Matt Starritt, a multi-talented fellow whom we sat next to at a WET performance once and whose existence we can vouch for personally.

Now, this may fail to work at all; we haven't seen it yet. But that's why we like WET shows -- something is about to happen, and we're not sure what. It's not guaranteed; it's live theatre. Are your palms sweaty yet? Also, OtB thinks it's going to sell out. See whatcha got there? Demand with an inelastic supply!
