Epic Proportions

Rating:
Summary: This is a story about a lot of things!
Review: When I'd heard reviews of this play during its Broadway run, most reviewers either loved or hated it. It's not as bad as has been said, and actually reaches into hysterical in many points. It tells the story of 2 brothers who come to be extras on a Biblical epic [filmed] in the 30's in the Arizona desert, and end up both falling in love with the Assistant Director in charge of the extras, and become the director and star of the movie, "Exeunt Omnes". The 3 principals are supported by an ensemble of 3 actors who play everyone from an Egyptian Dancing Girl to Executioners to Hollywood costume designers. I would have to rate this script high for performability and for the humor in it. The characters are written strongly, and have very distinct personalities, and the story is entertaining, with some interesting absurdist touches, and I would recommend this to anyone who likes a sly comedy that can be outrageous at the same time.
