WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Stage 13, LLC presents the Off Broadway premiere of Dan O'Brien's The Voyage of the Carcass, directed by Randy Baruh, and starring Tony-winner Dan Fogler.
When their Polar expedition goes awry, only three members of the doomed SS Carcass remain -- Bane Barrington, a buffoonish explorer; ship's Chaplain Kane, a rector in drag; and Israel, their mute (and Canadian) first mate. After 40 years trapped in the ice, will they make it home alive? But first, they'll take a five-minute break, explore themselves, their roles, and their "issues" as actors dealing with an artic blast all their own. Bill is a struggling mime; his wife Helen is an ad exec and erstwhile actress; Dan is a passive-aggressive puppet master (that is to say, the playwright).
Weaving Commedia Dell'arte with Theatre Verite, The Voyage of the Carcass is a hilarious play-within-a-play, an affectionately playful look at people's dreams, both failed and realized.

Dan O'Brien's The Voyage of the Carcass raises an intriguing question about contemporary theater: Can you tell by a customized cell-phone announcement whether what you're about to see will be good or bad? On the evidence of this show, the answer is yes. The preliminary warning here is an arch, unfunny couple of sentences delivered by one of the players -- and it turns out to be characteristic of the arch, unfunny, woefully undergraduate play that follows.
In the show's opening segment, set in a theater where confetti snow has been amassed, three characters are showing signs of cabin fever. Surrounded by Wilson Chin's calculatedly cluttered set, the hapless ones are Bane Barrington (Dan Fog[...]
