My brother-from-another-mother is all grows-up. Last night, I had the pleasure to see Todd Davis perform in an amazing piece of theatre, MARGOT VEIL. Between this and SCAPIN - it's amazing the amount of talent that guy has. If I didn't love him I'd have to hate him. If Orlando isn't destroyed by Wilma's wrath - all of you need to head out to UCF and check out this show.
The show itself is weird and difficult and shifting and funny and creepy and beautiful --- remember that quiz that was going around about theatrical highlights --- I would put MARGOT VEIL right up there. It's just the kind of show you don't get to see very often. There was just something about the tone of it that was right up my alley. There were all these little flourishes and raptures and all of it was performed by a talented ensemble. The script is about Transformation. And Traps. And Owls. And Ancient Demons. And Old Movie Stars. And Grange Hall Dances. And The Hindu AfterLife. And The Themes Of Flemish Paintings. And Ovid. And Bo Diddley. And Mobius Strips.
And Fugue. And Rabbit Holes. And Ziggurats. And Obelisks. And Pop Culture.
I really just got sucked up into the shady, sinister, quicksilver-dangerous world they created. Todd, you should be really proud. And everyone who has a chance this upcoming weekend should check it out.
