Well, here it is again. Another Barren Mind review.
In terms of laughs, energy (from both the audience and cast), originality, and content, this show was decent, and it certainly didn't lack in the "oh shit" moments. I kept thinking at times, "these guys are pushing it." The energy was considerably higher than last week's show, especially during the "Do Run Run" and "I Object" scenes.
Has anyone noticed that Barren Mind is using more "Open Scenes" lately? Under Stacey's direction, they've used more in the last two months than the last three directors. When I first saw them, I didn't really like them, but now I see the logic in them. It provides a nice challenge to those to partake in open scenes, because there's no gimmicks, and it forces them to really be creative.
While he's always good on Farce Side, I think that Barren Mind gives Joel the chance to show off his eccentricity, which is a plus given that his personality.
That's all for now.
