Mistakes Were Made
Even by his own admission, Felix Artifex has produced only theatrical shlock.Now he wants to align with quality, "a real American play." His choice: an epic about the French Revolution called Mistakes Were Made. Six months into the project and he still hasn't a clue. Every move he makes pushes things further apart. Craig Wright's play is often very funny and very long (even for 90 minutes). And when Felix's amateurish actions have lethal consequences the jokes, and a cutsie, overfed goldfish bit, wane. But what Phil Johnson does as Felix argues for a recommendation in spite of the drawbacks. He's on the phone the whole time, does one dramatic build after another, and manages greater ones in the end. Throughout he performs with a remarkable spontaneity.
Worth a try.
