ON THE FRINGE: How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found

POSTED: Saturday, September 3, 2011, 1:20 PM

Fin Kennedy’s drama, performed by Luna Theater Company, poses a cool idea, in several senses: creating a new identity intrigues, but we can’t warm up to Charlie (David Stranger), who’s so fucked up that jettisoning his life becomes necessary. Moreover, Gregory Campbell’s production has a great high-tech, video-screen coolness. Given Charlie’s fate, maybe it’s for the best that we don’t love him, but his journey — realized by a great ensemble playing multiple roles — is a fascinating plunge into the nature of identity in the modern world. “You can change the shell,” Charlie’s told, “but you’ve still got to fill it.”

Through Sept. 18, $20, Playground at the Adrienne, 2030 Sansom St. MORE INFO HERE.
