BEDROOM FARCE

BY ED BRUCE edbrucevegas@yahoo.com

THE TITLE PRETTY WELL COVERED IT !

Bedroom farce, a bedroom farce play by Alan Ayckbourn finishing out its run for Las Vegas Little Theatre..... pretty much suffered from a weak script.

Like everything else it started late....7 minutes...opened weak...continued weak in its farcical theme and remained that way !

Four couples, pretty fair acting (they knew their lines) struggled through this on a beautiful set....credit here to Ron Lindblom who has 17 years experience building for LVLT. Three bedrooms on one stage with constant refocusing and excellent lighting to theme.

I continue to salute LVLT for their efforts in live theatre regardless of the scripts they choose.

This... just nonsense with 8 characters who were not likeable...unlike the Black Swan in which could not tell who the good buys were and who the bad guys were and what the story was....Bedroom Farce at least left me with the storyline !

Not the worst thing I have ever seen.

More LVLT............. Lonely Planet 21 Jan to 6 Feb and Prelude to a Kiss 18 Feb to 6 Mar.......702 362 7996...www.lvlt.org......3920 Schiff Drive....Valley View-Spring Mountain in the heart of Las Vegas.
