Review: In Due Time, PANTOMIME (Theatre Crude Fringe Festival) - LLCurtainCall
For something completely different—and I mean completely different—, we saw In Due Time, PANTOMIME by Poetic Thespian Productions. One characteristic of fringe festivals seems to be they don’t provide much information about who created the works and who performs them. Although the title has “pantomime” in it and the actor wears mime makeup, he was not a mime. He explained the contradiction early in this dramatic monologue.
The non-mime said his name is Terry Peterson. I’m not sure if that’s the name of the writer, the actor, or the character played by the actor. Or if those three are the same person. The story sounded so authentic and was performed with such unguarded genuineness one wondered if it’s autobiographical.
The actor told the harrowing story with an understated energy that held your attention for a full 60 minutes. He did cleverly find a way to get some help from others in the room.
In Due Time had the edginess that I would like to see from all fringe festival performances.”
