Akuma-shin at Sacred Fools Theater

Akuma-shin

Sacred Fools Theater
1076 Lillian Way Los Angeles

In 1956, a giant kaiju (monster) destroys Tokyo and sends seismic waves of fear, anger and ignorance through generations. Facts are questioned, history is alternatively written and modern politics is set against primal religion in this ferociously civilized cautionary tale of two nations coping with their own damaged legacies. Can humanity reckon with the monsters that rise against us, the ones that live within us all?

"...Not that Akuma-Shin is a total loss, not when director Scott Leggett has Baker, Levi, Parducci, Surdyke, and Wilcox doing some of the most hilarious takes I've seen on Brothers, Capote, Mailer, and Buckley (though you probably need to be at least fifty to know why the impressions are so spot-on) and their eleventh-hour Mike Mahaffey-choreographed fight sequence soars deliciously over the top."

"...Director Scott Leggett does his best to keep the disparate plates of Smith's concept spinning, but on opening night some of these dishes hit the tiles, with a few ill-judged performances and delayed set reveals. Joe Jordan's sets are cleverly conceived, however, and Jaime Robledo's sound design does much of the production's heavy lifting by creating a vivid sonic atmosphere."

"...While there is much to admire in the show, Akuma-shin seems like an extended series of Saturday Night Live skits, some of which work and some don't. It is hard to know quite what to make of it. I left the theatre bemused."
