Just saw the overnight and am now waiting to see Liink and Zellda. I love the whole ‘before the show’ thing some plays do. The overnight had the main guy in the play just sitting sleeping at his radio board while everyone got seated and the play started when he wakes up. This one has the original Zelda overworld theme going.

Anyways, the Overnight was really good. They did an amazing thing with the secondary characters being behind a screen as silhouettes so they didn’t have to do rapid fire costume changes, and it worked really well. Especially when the crazy stalker lady was on the phone and she played the seductress. The main plot is a guy juggling his career ambitions with a relationship, which is pretty typical plot fodder for fringe plays. It excelled at doing it all in an interesting way, though. This is one of the two plays I’d be willing to see again so far.
