Lights Out, Everybody
Through 2/10: Thu-Sat 8 PM, Sun 7:30 PMTheater & Performance
Dream Theatre has done a service in bringing Arch Oboler back from pop-cultural limbo. A Rod Serling before there was a Rod Serling, Oboler purveyed dark thrills to Depression-era radio audiences with his Lights Out series. Jeremy Menekseoglu's stage versions of three Oboler stories come off poorly, though: neither he nor director Giau Truong has figured out how to translate the tales from an aural to a visual medium. Consequently, what we get is flat, fright-challenged, and even unintentionally silly at times. Truong fails to establish the conceptual geography that would help us imagine settings like the sewers of Paris or a bluebeard's castle. And the shabby way he uses a blanket to approximate murder by immersion in concrete, well . . . --Tony Adler $17-$20
