“Uh oh, I think I hear a monologue coming.”
Sisters going at each other as only sisters can. This group was part of my pre-Fringe Top 20 list back in 2010 so it’s nice to see them back. Completely different show than their last outing. More family friction than larger issues of faith, race and politics. Each sister does represent a certain type of success (or lack thereof) so there’s still an exploration of the society in which they play a part. The thing that stuck out here was the use of music to comic effect. One sister’s rant is overdubbed with an opera aria. A final catfight gets the accompaniment of the song “Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting.” So there’s a welcome sense of playfulness here. Not sure it’s top of my list this time around, but it looks like it might be fun.
