Where can I tell the world...and more specifically Portland Theater Goers that they can't miss Dead Funny!!! The mix of "humour" and deception, doubts and comedy, human drama and aloofness took me by surprise and for the all duration of the show I forgot the gloomy economy, the rain coming upon us and the scary Sarah Paulin. Third Rail actors are incredible...and even a bit magical I believe. They master their art in such a way that you never remember you are actually seeing a play. Without you noticing, they teletransport you in the middle of a British living room, suddenly spying on the intimacy of a 30-something English couple and it all feels natural.
Yes wonderful actors but everything else also fits in this play: the sounds, the lights, the stage set up. No doubt the sign of a great Artistic Direction. Congratulations to Third Rail for their first show (and what a show) in their new place!
A REAL MUST SEE!!
