OK, my loyal and faithful readers ... let’s get right to it ...
Billi Pod’s report card on the pile of donkey dung aka Adam Rapp’s new so-called “drama” DREAMS OF FLYING DREAMS OF FALLING==>F-<==as in foul, fetid and f**king disgusting.
What is Rapp trying to tell us? I have no clue and neither did several of my theater buddies I talked with after the show. I personally felt as if I had fallen into a fly trap of mediocre melodrama.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, about this cesspool masquerading as a play made any sense at all, like ... ending the show by bringing the carcass of a dead lion on stage. WTF?? This actually induced verbal responses of utter disbelief from the audience. Not joking.
Yes ... the cast is stellar but they are victims of Rapp’s heavy-handed characterizations. None of the main characters are believable or likable. You just don’t care about any of them.
Yes ... yes ... I know what some of you theatre-elite out there are thinking ... Billi Pod isn’t smart enough or suave enough to understand the mind of this brilliant young playwright. Well ... to you he says==>Billi Pod knows shit when he sees/smells it ... this terrible play is a pile of donkey dung.
Case closed.
Now on to something more positive ... like ...
The Yankees won 3-2 last night in Seattle behind an decent but erratic outing from AJ Burnett aka Loser Boi, who went 6 innings, giving up 2 runs on 4 hits and striking out 11. In typical Loser Boi fashion, he gave up a 2 run lead, walked 2, hit 2 batters and made 2 wild pitches. Yankee bats saved his ass.
Mo closed out the bottom of the 9th getting his 600th career save, putting him 1 behind the all-time leader Trevor Hoffmann.
The Yankees will close out the series tonight at 10:10pm EST with rookie Ivan Nova on the mound going for his 16th win.
Billi Pod’s entertainment event for tonight is another Fringe Festival Encore production ...
7:00==>PIGPEN PRESENTS: THE MOUNTAIN SONG - “The tale of a carpenter who climbs mountains and traverses rivers in order to attend his daughter's wedding - without a clue as to where it's taking place.” (Off Broadway - $9.00 TDF ticket)
Still have some errands and stuff to do, so will close this out.
Oh, did you understand that Billi Pod thinks that DREAMS OF FLYING DREAMS OF FALLING is puke-inducingly bad? Just wanted to make sure you did.
GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
