Fringe 2009 - FFA 1 - Screams In The Dark

"There's always one smart twin, and one not so smart twin."

Good Evening Productions

Screams In The Dark

A family with issues is forced to spend an evening together during a power outage. Secrets are revealed, emotions are confronted and everyone is forced to realize the faults within themselves.

Oh wow. Where to begin? This is one of those things I might end up going to see anyway, but probably for the wrong reasons. The excerpt of the script teeters on the edge of exposition so blatant that the actors were almost saying things like, "You are my brother, and we are in conflict." When the two brunette actors walked out and started verbally going at one another, my first thought was, "Wow, they're dressed in identical blue shirts and white pants, and have almost exactly the same hair color." Then they mentioned they were supposed to be twins and I thought, "Oh! OK. Wow, they're still allowing themselves to be dressed the same. At that age. No wonder this family has issues."

The warnings say there will be violence, adult language, and loud noises/gunshots.

There may also be unintentional laughter. But that's not always a bad thing. It may even be an enticement.

And hey, they got out on the green light, so they've got their act more together than a lot of Fringe newbies.
