Freddie: A Girl (now being presented by the Taffety Punk Theatre Company) is a triumph of theatrical form over content. The subject of resistance fighters against the Nazis in World War II is obviously a fraught and very serious business especially in these polarized times-- but Director Lise Bruneau and the Playwright Kelsey Mesa have subverted the material into a thrilling, pulpy, and brightly- colored panoply of moods and episodic high-adrenaline impressions. Each scene in this uniquely interesting play highlight the often-contradictory demands of standing up to do what is right no matter what the cost.  Bravery in the realm of doing what is right requires constant drive and dedication but this fact is not presented via linear stereotypical tropes but, rather, via constant almost-impressionistic episodic action.
