I see that your critic has yet been able to make it to INCURABLE. That’s a shame since they only have 2 performances left and it’s amazing and deserves an audience. It came highly recommended so I checked it out and left thinking that I cannot imagine there is a better show in the festival this year (including the one I’m in, which has gotten some pretty great reviews, thank you very much). The script is hilarious but smart, substantive and at times beautiful enough to have made me cry. Which is impressive given the show is about a man with spots on his penis that turn out to be a colony of aliens who send an ambassador to visit him. So certainly the plot is Fringe-worthy. But everything else about this show would make it fit right in the regular season of any company in town. The acting is top-notch (and not graded on a curve for Fringe but genuinely excellent by any measure), especially Ben Kingsland (who has worked at Woolly and Rep Stage) in the lead and Genevieve James, who steals the show as Greta, the ambassador from Genitopia. An audience member sitting next to me at the show described her afterwards as “a pint-sized nuclear reactor of energy.” The design and direction are both inventive and elegant, right down to the seamlessly choreographed scene changes. Seriously, this is one of the best plays I’ve seen in ages, Fringe or otherwise, and I really hope more people will discover this rare gem in the festival.
