This
show in essence is an
amalgamation of Alice in Wonderland, Pygmalion and William Strunk
Jr. & EB White's classic American text in "Elements of
Style" 1999.
Alice (Elana Fruchtman) is struggling with
her essay. Much as I am with this review! She however has the help
of E. B. Whyte (Adam Howard) and a copy of his original book on the
rules of word use and punctuation ‘The Elements of Style’ to
help her on her quest. I however ,do not. Neither do I have the
assistance of the rest of the cast Nick Cuse, Susanna Wolk, Nick
Merrill, Natalie Margolin, Alex Steiner, Ava Kofman, Zack Goldman
and Chet Tyson with Jake Staahl on Keyboards.
I
empathise completely with Alice as she "Struggles with getting
every word just right, getting every comma in the right place, and
avoiding the use of 'so' to mean 'very'".
Oh
I need help!
Not
so the cast who perform beautifully with evident ease.
An
interesting hours viewing.
