WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?
What are other members saying?
Tragicomedy?
You will find no such thing as genuine human interaction, nor development of character nor a discernible plot herein.
Not a shred of continuity, nor sense of motivation for any of the staged meanderings here. As your mind wanders, you may find yourself wondering, not about these so-called characters, but how such an unmitigated mess as this coud be presented without warning to an unsuspecting audience. BEWARE!

All six actors were up to the tasks set before them ? especially Heather Oakley as Cynthia ? and the director, Jenna Worsham, elicited the very best from them. I have posted an expanded review of this play and of several other Fringe and non-Fringe productions on my blog www.aseatontheaisle.blogspot.com.

[Editor's Note: This is the sixth in a series of roundups on the 2011 New York International Fringe Festival.]
The funeral of a dog is the catalyst for Dennis Flanagan's quietly affecting and absurdly funny new play Bella and the Pool Boy, at the 4th Street Theatre. It's what brings Will (played by Flanagan) back to his childhood home in Central New Jersey, where he comes face to face with the life he desperately wants to leave behind, but which he can never really escape.
Will reunites with mother Kathy (Dina Ann Comolli), sister Cindy (Gwynneth Benson), former best friend Calvin (Curran Connor), and ex-girlfriend Danielle (Megan Raye Manzi), falling into familiar patterns with each of [...]
