I saw the new production by the Obie-winning theater company, The Civilians, this evening at P.S. 122. Deliriously smart and kooky, it was a giddily entertaining look at how we get our information from the maelstrom of American popular culture swirling around us.
Consider it highly recommended, with terrific performances by an upbeat and talented cast that belts out poppy, cynical show tunes, not to mention appealing stagecraft and deft choreography. Besides, how can you not love a play narrated by a male actor playing a medium who is channeling an opinionated spirit, and who also happens to wear pink Ugg boots?
Update: Culturebot has an illuminating interview with Steven Cosson, director of The Civilians.
