Company: Martin Dockery
Show: Martin Dockery: TRUTH
Venue: Theatre in the Round

engaging and clever

dockery is a great storyteller and this should one hundred percent be on your list of shows to attend. it may have played slightly better at any other venue - theatre in the round makes him do a lot of turning around to engage the entire audience. it still worked great and i enjoyed the entire show.

wish it had one more week of revisions

the audience, it felt like to me, was full of fans and friends of the cast because they loved EVERYTHING the cast did, which raised the comedy bar to an impossible standard for me to fully enjoy. the show was at its best when it was quick and clippy and committed to big, over-the-top choices. the actor who played mrs hubbard was always making the right choices and was completely delightful to watch on stage. the show feels like a love letter to various mysteries intertwined with mel brooksian humor (though sometimes just outright copying instead of being original, i.e. “were wolf? there wolf.”) it was a cute show that would have benefitted from a couple more rehearsals in the venue to cut down on some of the drags in transitions between scenes. almost every time a character exited, the energy was sucked out of the scene, nevertheless, when the show finds its pace and the characters are having fun, we have fun
