BRAIN

Blair Moro—The Rachel Browne Theatre

Personally I am glad this show finally cleared up left and right brain for me. I think that means I’m right brained. Our personified cranial components do their best to teach us swanky new neurons about our role in the brain while disaster is inches away, and as a result I found things fell out of focus. The two performers commit themselves to their characters with gusto from the opening of the doors to curtain call, but despite this BRAIN didn’t seem to quite feel fully fleshed out. What it had in fun, goofball romps it countered with repetitive, grim attempts at foreshadowing. They started strong, but ultimately weighed themselves down in referential humor and an attempt to be everything all at once.
