'But the show, directed by Jerry Minor, isn’t much of anything: it isn’t cultural critique, and it isn’t political satire. And most of all, it isn’t funny. One effort to be all three falls spectacularly flat. . .' | Kelly Kleiman
Open run: Thu 8 PM, Fri-Sat 7 and 10 PM, Sun 4 PM, Second City e.t.c., 230 W. North, 312-337-3992,These observations aren’t meant to minimize the genuine gifts revealed. Mark Campbell is a superb physical comic, whether portraying a terrified carpool passenger or a bedbug. Claudia Martinez is wonderfully appealing in children’s roles, such as a child who won’t go to sleep and one whose mother disrupts her birthday party by expressing her wish that she’d had an abortion.
But the show, directed by Jerry Minor, isn’t much of anything: it isn’t cultural critique, and it isn’t political satire. And most of all, it isn’t funny. One effort to be all three falls spectacularly flat: a scene in a car with parents in the front and obnoxious kids in the back, whose punchline—delivered by the father—is “I don’t care how far we have to drive, we’re getting that abortion.” Thud.
