That was an odd play, Charlie Brown
Jan. 27th, 2006 07:58 amWe saw Dog Sees God last night. Odd. Very odd.
It's about the Peanuts crew in high school. It starts with Snoopy getting rabies and killing Woodcrest and having to be put down. It goes from there into sex, drugs, and pyromania.
Parts were really funny. Other parts, not so much. The whole thing felt like what Swimming Upstream wanted to grow up to be - funny satire about high school that suddenly swerves into Saturday afternoon special territory with pathos and inspirational message. Thing is, you pretty much get the feeling that the writer still hasn't gotten over high school yet.
But it meant that we got spit on by America Ferrera, Eddie Kaye Thomas (from American Pie), and Eliza Dushku (from Buffy). (We we literally in the front row.)
Good grief.
