BWW Reviews: Theatreworks' PSYCHO BEACH PARTY Flounders in the Water
by Christi Esterle - Oct 24, 2014


You'd think a play called Psycho Beach Party would be a little more, well....crazy. But Charles Busch's affectionate parody of 1960s beach movies seldom seems more unhinged than the cheerful teen romps it draws inspiration from. Oh, it's not all sun and fun in the sand, to be sure. There's a fair amount of sexual kink, a domineering mother who could give Margaret White a run for her money, and revelations of a tragic past, but it all feels so light. The poster for the Theatreworks production, featuring a knife-wielding beach bunny, promises a gruesome good time that the play never really delivers.

Beulah trades in her apron for jewels and minks by unwittingly associating with the criminal element. Soon, she finds herself entangled in a plot of murder, revenge, and the sordid realm of childhood stardom! If you're not on the edge of your seat yet, you need a smaller chair.
