ALL THE DEAD BIDDLES (Underbite Theatre Company): Looks at life after death through lens of dark humor Phindie review by Lisa Panzer 
|
Karl and Wendy are mourning the loss of their son.
Karl seeks the help of Dr. Francis, an unconventional psychologist, while Wendy, enabled by their mysterious live-in nanny, indulges in a delusion that begins to push them both to their limits. "I’m not sure what social mission “All the Dead Biddles” fulfills, but I suspect that the director, Carly L. Bodnar, didn’t worry much about that when blocking the characters so meticulously in a small playing area. That, like so much about “All the Dead Biddles,” works." The doll and the denial: ‘All the Dead Biddles’ (Underbite Theatre Co. and Plays & Players) WHYY Review by Howard Shapiro 
"Director Carly L. Bodnar keeps a brisk pace in this 90-minute show. "
"But even in trespass, everyone stays in character. In the unpredictable, madcap finale, All the Dead Biddles feels a little like a bad dream. But your own nightmares were never this full of laughs." "'Biddles' at Plays & Players: Witty, edgy comedy about grief" Philadelphia Inquirer review by Hugh Hunter |
