Enterprise

See it if Verbal pyrotechnics infuse story of a corporate meltdown Parks infuses capitalistic saga with both the silly & the relevant to mixed results

Don't see it if Written (& directed) at such a fever pitch it has nowhere to go thus a tedium sets in.... could be a metaphor for current political climate?

See it if If you want to watch MBA types groping with problems

Don't see it if You don't know what an MBA is

See it if you want to see a Monty-Pythonesque skewering of corporate culture (as it existed in the 90s).

Don't see it if you'd prefer a more subtle comedy. The volume is cranked up to 11 throughout.

Also Farcical scene snippets performed with gusto. My only complaint is this production shows its age. Corporate hypocrisy & shallowness haven’t changed, but Enterprise would feel more current if its jokes acknowledged how much technology, startup culture, and politics influence big business today. These characters are still using overhead projectors and paperback thesauruses.

See it if This dystopia is a surreal corporation on the verge of collapse, and four poor out-of-touch zhlubs who try to save it. Well-directed/acted.

See it if seeking fast-paced surreal comedy where your mind will not be able to keep up with the linguistic high jinks but you will be tickled a lot.

Don't see it if everything has to make sense to you and fringe festival offerings leave you feeling uneasy.

Also Also: razor-sharp direction and a deft quartet of actors with Christopher Carley especially standing out as the odd businessman-out newbie. This play deserves the awards it has already won.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy truly accomplished staging, a fabulous production, top-flight acting.

Don't see it if You want something a little more in-depth out of the characters on stage. The writing is tight, clever, but the emotional center is missing.
