ON THE FRINGE: The Devil and Mister Punch

POSTED: Saturday, September 10, 2011, 12:40 PM

Mindless violence makes a much welcome return to the stage in the guise of Mr. Punch, a puppet conceived in an era of wanton murder, urban decay and rampant police brutality, and therefore born to play before a Philadelphia audience. Equal parts anarchic slapstick, eerie drama and haunting musical , The Devil and Mister Punch is that sort of highly original, well crafted production which should define the festival at its best. Yes, it could benefit from some editing, but its mad, twisted dark charms well outweigh any minor flaws.

Through Sept. 16, $25, Christ Church Neighborhood House, 20 N. American St. MORE INFO HERE.
