Possum Carcass at Theatre of NOTE

Possum Carcass

Theatre of NOTE
1517 N. Cahuenga Blvd. Hollywood

POSSUM CARCASS is Chekhov at CBGB's, with no money to get home. A hilarious and darkly poignant look at what it is to be an artist, and who it is that gets to decide that. Giving up isn't the same as losing, but wanting to make art is a simply dreadful disease…

"...Although it dutifully mirrors Chekhov's plot in the soaring ambitions and earthbound struggles of present-day artistic types, what dooms this six-character reduction is its systematic abandonment of the subtextual layers that make the original so compelling."

"...Alina Phelan directs a production that hits the jokes on the head, so that there's very little subtextual comedy, providing us with little work to do. The Arkadina character (Lauren Letherer), here a soap opera star, insists, in parody, that a play should not make the audience work at all. Well, here we have just that."

"...You don't have to know The Seagull to enjoy David Bucci's Possum Carcass, though those who've read the Chekhov masterpiece may well get the biggest kick out of seeing how the 21st-century playwright has served up Seagull (make that Possum) for today's audiences. In either case, it's almost imposs(um)ible not to have great fun at Theatre Of NOTE's latest (if only slightly unpolished) gem."

"...As gifted as director Alina Phelan is, and as inspiring as Bucci's shrewd and irreverent adaptation seems to be, Possum Carcass is not entirely successful."
