'LOOT' IS A HOOT
The Forecaster,
by Scott Andrews
Comic chaos and madcap mayhem erupt with when the two most incompetent criminals in London confront Scotland Yard’s most inept detective in a crime story that revolves around hot cash and a cold corpse.
That’s the shtick of “Loot,” a classic modern British farce by Joe Orton. Good Theater, Portland’s newest and most vibrant professional (non-Equity) thespian troupe, opened “Loot” last weekend to sold-out audiences -- who spent two hours doubled over with laughter. “Loot” is a hoot, and a must-see for anyone who revels in fine scripts performed by outstanding casts.
Falmouth theater professor Bill Steele directs six actors. The plot revolves around a pair of blundering criminals who rob a bank, then stash their bags of ill-gotten cash in a coffin containing the corpse of the mother of one of the guys. Then there’s the question of how the old lady died. Was it a murder committed by her curvaceous nurse, a blonde bombshell who’s knocked off a dozen husbands in as many years and is now scheming to marry the dead woman’s rich widower?
British criminal justice is represented by the most confused constable in the kingdom, who seems to fumble the simplest facts and obvious connections.
This is definitely one of the best shows I’ve seen all season. The whole cast is outstanding, but let’s specially mention Samantha Fitschen as the deadly nurse and Stephen Underwood as the dense detective.
