Third Party

Brighter Dark Theatre—MTYP – Mainstage

An emotionally maladjusted himbo boyfriend and his manipulative girl boss girlfriend with skeletons in the closet take on MPI’s homegrown Columbo to disastrous results for all involved. Coming off their hit success, House of Gold, at last year’s Fringe, Thomas McLeod and Brighter Darker Theatre bring their A game again with snappy dark humor and clever dialog. Being MTYP alumni, they take great advantage of the venue in order to stage their tense phone calls that start off the show, which also serves to improve the acoustics for a challenging interaction in most theatres. Opening night saw a fantastic crowd (a timely gasp at a dramatic reveal being a highlight) making a recommendation seems a bit redundant, but for anyone somehow on the fence, Third Party has mine regardless.
