    I'll see your show, if you see mine in January. hehe.

    I will check the scedule and figure out when I can go. I have a couple of friends who also have a show in the Fringe festival.

    I'm looking forward to seeing your show.

    Actually, that is my friend's show! I can't believe it.

    This is crazy. I'm friends from college with all of those guys. In fact Matt(who's in the show with you), myself and one other guy are writing a play that will go up in January.

    It's really a small world.

    Nah Batman not personally

    Although I did used to have some, shall we say spirited conversations with one T.S. on the Chronicle theater BBS a few years ago.

    That's funny, mark. Troy's cool. He was just angry-young-manning out back then. He's relaxed considerably since. Too bad those boards are gone. I used to enjoy lurking there.

    Keep up the good work!

    OUT TO LUNCH
    reviewed by Martin Denton

    If you are wondering why we have the New York International Fringe Festival, see Joseph Langham’s Out to Lunch. Here is a gutsy, adventurous new play with a big cast and big ideas, that almost certainly wouldn’t be produced anywhere else, and that absolutely deserves to be seen. It’s a fancy, wildly subversive, brazenly political, dada feast; think “Laugh In” meets Horse Country meets The Chairs meets - I don’t know - Jerry Springer? Out to Lunch is smart and shameless and sassy and inventive and raw and anarchic and disorganized. What more could you want from a FringeNYC show?

    Out to Lunch is ostensibly about two “campers” - a pair of geeky losers who spend their entire Sunday parked at a table having a relaxing brunch. These two are out to lunch in both senses of that phrase; they are the play’s Vladimir and Estragon; or perhaps they’re stand-ins for us; perhaps not. What they are for sure is clueless and inert, and as they go through the same motions of eating and drinking that they execute every Sunday, and repeat the same conversation, they are blithely unaware of the chaotic - apocalyptic? - shift that’s going on around them.

    Which includes, in no particular order, a waitress who takes off all her clothes, <b>a restaurant manager who dreams of being a ballet dancer;</b> a visit from the restaurant’s fearsome owner, who wears a crown and whose arrival is heralded by a pair of sexily clad women; and a psychopath with a gun who turns up on more than one occasion hoping that he’s arrived at a suitable destination for a massacre (“Is this an elementary school?” he asks our hapless heroes at one point. “Is this the Olympics?”).

    It would be frightening if it weren’t so funny; or is it the other way around? Langham captures the irrationality of this particular moment in our history with remarkable incisiveness. Very particular, I should add: there are lines in Out to Lunch about Mayor Bloomberg’s decision to ban smoking in restaurants that suggest Langham has been writing new material as recently as yesterday. Out to Lunch features eleven actors , the most memorable of whom is Clint McCown who plays the improbably and absolutely accurately named JesterDishwasherFrenchCook.

    See Out to Lunch. It will make you laugh, and make you think and generally unsettle you. As I said, what more could you want from a FringeNYC show?
