Description
Elephant Deal, loosely inspired by Brecht's Man Is Man, takes the form of a cabaret led by Molly Brennan, supported by John Fournier's live band and her clown compatriots. As they clamber around Jim Moore's scaffolds-and-blank-space set, they trade identities like baseball cards; the rules of the “game” become less and less clear, while the mood grows steadily more unsettled. But the show never fails to command our attention. The ensemble's live-wire connection to its audience, rendering the performance both polished and infinitely malleable, only enhances the show's rough-and-tumble, invigorating interrogation of identity.—KVWhen
