The season hasn\u2019t started yet, so don\u2019t look here for reviews of what you will or will not see.\u00a0 But of course, you will have to go to Meadowlands Hall at Dominican University in San Rafael, to see the plays for yourself.\u00a0 Then, should you be inspired, you can write your own reviews.<\/p>\n
I can say this.\u00a0 In all the Fringes I have attended (and we are going on eight or nine now), there is at least one play, and often more, that will astound you with a deft script, sensitive direction, and superb acting.\u00a0 You will be, as I have often been, amazed at the dynamic confluence of all these appearing on stage before you.<\/p>\n
These are all one-act plays, by unknown or little-known playwrights, having their world premiere right in front of you. You could (and in fact probably are) watching the incubation of the next Harold Pinter or David Mamet (or Eugene O\u2019Neill\u2014everybody starts somewhere). \u00a0That stage is literally no more than twenty feet in front of you, so close that you are no longer an audience separated from the action by the supposed fourth wall.\u00a0 You are, and sometimes quite literally, a part of the action.<\/p>\n
This is not to promise that every play at the Fringe will deliver a memorable theatrical experience.\u00a0 With thirteen plays produced twice a year for lo! these thirty seasons, that is a standard impossible to keep up.<\/p>\n
I can promise that you will see something you have never seen before.\u00a0\u00a0 And if you attend both Programs, something that will leave you thinking and talking to your friends for days afterward.\u00a0 This is the best bargain in small theatre you can find.\u00a0 There are only five performances of each Program, starting November 2.\u00a0 Don’t miss it.<\/p>\n
