Mansion of Dust
European master cleaners clash in a creaking mansion full of filth and secrets. Who will live? Who will dance? Who is the best duster? Oui! Ja!
The husband and wife comedy/dance team of last year's popular Dance of the Whisky Faerie are back at it again, this time as two professional cleaners with dueling accents (French and Swedish) and dueling feather dusters. Verbal comedy, physical comedy (she's graceful, he's... less graceful - albeit often deliberately), prop comedy, what's not to like? Though a voice in the back of my head did perk up and ask, "50 minutes of dusting? Really?"
But these two dancer-comedians have a proven track record. They know what they're doing. This was funny. I trust the funny will continue.
And they got it all done inside the yellow light's 2-1/2 minute warning. Well done.
(I also enjoyed that host Robin Gillette came onstage after they wrapped up and said, "That was an example, to an extent, that there is dance in the Fringe." The audience chuckled and she responded, "Oh, you know how I meant that.")
