Remember The Night Venue 22 – Rudolf
Rocker Cultural Centre
At the
beginning of Remember The Night, a prostitute named Cindy dies and one
of her clients named Fred is suspected of killing her. This play
is a very good film noir (or should I call it play noir). Daniel Thau Eleff’s
play succeeds as a mystery, a comedy and a romance. Like any good mystery, it
unfolds slowly, piece by piece. Add in several plot twists and you have an interesting
story. A lot of the comedy from the characters – especially the 2
seniors and the 2 career criminals. Also, watching Fred’s character evolve
from shy and nervous at the beginning to a more expressive person as he falls
in love with Cindy was nice. But, perhaps the best part of the show was Arne
MacPherson’s imaginative direction – moving the characters around
for different scenes and using every inch of the venue. Remember The Night
is one of my favourite plays at this year’s Fringe. Go see it. - Justin Olynyk UMFM |
