ON THE FRINGE: Wired

POSTED: Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 4:20 PM

Supposedly about today’s hooked-in culture, Secret Room Theater's Wired plays more like an argument against technology in theater. Consider two people, staring into laptops, apparently conversing through Skype: a lifeless thing to watch. So, too, is Ed Miller holding up a laptop, playing Beth Doughtery’s “Webcam with Marie” — at least clean your grubby screen, dude! And what does Alex Dremann’s goofy backstage farce “The Red Play” have to do with modern technology? Only Elle McComsey’s “iGod” comes close to meaning something with its salvation app. We’ve seen all this, and better, on YouTube; just send me the link.

Through Sept. 17, $15, Second Stage at the Adrienne, 2030 Sansom St. MORE INFO HERE.
