Zdenka Now!

Venue 10– Planetarium Auditorium

 

Zdenka Now! is a series of short scenes. One is deadly serious while the others are comedic.

 

This was an extremely disorganized show. To me, the show seemed like a series of disconnected scenes done in different styles. Even though the program writeup suggests the scenes are connected by the search for love, the scene with Zdenka had nothing to do with this topic. Also, there were two really long costume changes, which is unacceptable in a Fringe show. To change characters, all you need to do is put on a different jacket. Other scenes, especially the car convention, were way over the top and consequently had no emotional connection. The only scene that worked for me was the dramatic scene about a musician losing his memory.
