Portland Playhouse's Funny, Unsentimental Look at Cerebral Palsy

Saw it. I agree with "dark" and "uncomfortable," but not with "funny." What laughs there were don't really stand on their own, but rather the paucity of comedy accentuates them beyond how funny they really are. I understand the fawning over this thing since, ooh, it was done on Broadway. The actors do well with it, and I "get" where the playwright was going with it. It reminds me of "Tim and Eric Awesome Show" or whatever that thing on Adult Swim is/was: I get what they're going for, but it doesn't work.

Please wait...
