A core group of the usual suspects, including Chris Cook the new guy, is up to a variety of things in this latest Rough & Tumble exercise in physical fun. Kristin Baker started last Saturday’s show off with a madcap dash to the office accompanied by Fred Harrington at the keyboard. He provided backup for a number of sketches, though there was some recorded music. Tori Low was her usual enigmatic self in several wordless pieces, plus a marvelous Ionesco send-up. George Saulnier III was chameleon-like as usual as he and Chris fought over a chair, drowve around in a car a few times, and had confrontations over Kristin in the longest piece of the evening, scripted by William Donnelly. Irene Daly was in the thick of it, once even playing a self-satisfied disembodied head. Starting this weekend, another NAPA group, Mill6, will be presenting two one-acts after the weekend performances. See either or both, you’ll be glad you did.
