Fault Line Theater Company and Anna & Kitty, Inc present this new comedy about pretending to be what you already are. More…
From the show:
Zach is a medieval scholar and devotee of LARP (Live Action Role Playing); Laura ghost-writes romance novels. They meet at the crossroads of the competing realities they create and live in. Round Table is a comedy about pretending to be what you already are.
See it if you'd like a rom-com w a twist of medieval LARPing. Well-drawn chars. Bro Kay esp'ly likable. Lively, but long for plot. Gd use of sm stage.
Don't see it if you dislike monologues break 4th wall. Or bored by silly,rep'tive medieval scenes. Or want to learn (basic relnship stuff). Gd set. Clever.
See it if you want to follow three different stories. Poor direction and some poor performances do not help this production.

Don't see it if you think I may be onto something with my review at http://theaterlife.com/round-table/
See it if you care about and understand LARPs, you want charismatic actors who chew scenery, you like romantic sitcom plots
Don't see it if you find romcoms cliche, or don't like actors doing spotlight monologues at the audience, or want more politically charged material
See it if you have an imagination. You don't just want to see the usual stuff.
Don't see it if you have a prescriptive attitude towards art or like seeing plays around a couch.
See it if want to show support to actors,expected comedy ( it is not, even when advertising say so), like everything that 59E59 theater does
Don't see it if Mix but no match: King Arthur, modern day writer and medieval time consultant, glioblastoma and magic sword, too long and strange ending
Also Zach's brother is very good, funny and caring, only one normal charact... Read more Read less
