Channeling Kevin Spacey

Wolf and Williams Prods.—MTC Mainstage

I missed it the first time these two New Yorkers brought this production to the 2008 Winnipeg Fringe. I’m sure glad I caught this high-energy show this time.

David Michaels plays Charlie, a nine-to-five loser who uses the on-screen machismo movie stars of movie stars as a life strategy (Al Pacino mainly, brilliantly done by David), bringing him new kinds of hell!.

The chemistry the two actors have is amazing, and Chokachi —who plays all other characters—was hilarious.

Go see these off-Broadways pros. They fit right into the Fringe. And go see their other brilliant play Becoming Banksy at the Playhouse Studio.
