While You're At It...

...Or Shows In A Similar Vein

Reveling in the political incorrectness of
Death Penalty Puppetry

Osama Kincaid, Painter of Terror
Tom Cassidy
Pillsbury House Theatre

I don't have the right words to do Tom Cassidy justice.

His own words would be a start.

He has a poet's way of bending language to his will that I truly envy.
 
Words seem to work harder and reveal more under his ministrations.

Crochety yet charming doesn't cover it.

Befuddled yet bemused isn't right.

Somewhere between wise and wise-ass.

Opinionated, even belligerent, and yet benevolent, compassionate in his own way even to those with whom he's violently opposed.

Scathingly funny. Emitting a perpetual stream of images and sound bites that are food for thought of the most satisfying and human variety.   I see myself clearly in his rants, for better and for worse, and I imagine many others do, too.

He's got two shows each weekend of the Fringe, plus a Thursday night performance.  Work him into your plans for a full day of theatre.  You'll be glad you did.
