Andrew Connor's BOOM! is an excellent one man show. I never knew it was physically possible to create an entire play using one man. Connor proves this without a doubt. He plays children, the elderly, a radio DJ, and women. The play is political, topical, and about the quest for truth and ultimately staying true to oneself. His simplistic costuming (a hodge podge of costume pieces to symbolize everyone he plays) and broad, yet detailed characterization focuses one's imagination onto this incredibly detailed, yet easy to understand story. Although slightly confused in the beginning I was riveted on Louis', the bombmaker's trials, and the pacing was perfect. The comedy is not overdone and this is a must stop on anybody's fringe travels!
I'm seeing The Cody Rivers Show tonight and I can only wait in anticipation of Connor's other antics! Five out of Five.
