PLAY: Not what we expected

My wife and I really enjoy going to the Lake City Playhouse. We have seen many great productions there. We bought season passes this year. After reading great reviews from the Inlander and the Press I was really looking forward to seeing K2. Maybe the reviewers saw a different play than I did.

The set looked great. The actors are talented and also did a good job. Prior to the start of the play we were warned that the play contained “some” profanity. I have to say it seemed to be a little over the top with the cursing. Maybe that was why the four people in front of us walked out shortly after the play began.

Two guys trapped on a mountain, one injured, frustrated, freezing, and on the verge of death, reflecting on their lives while trying to figure out how to get down. I GET THAT. What I didn’t get was the white blind foxes making their way to the ocean only to be swept up by the waters and die. What was that about? Was that some sort of metaphor?

LCPH is taking this play on to some sort of competition. Good luck with that. This isn’t one that I will be encouraging people to go see.
