From New York to this year’s Winnipeg Fringe Festival comes a play entitled C-.
In what is probably one of the more unique middle aged inspired actions, Brooklynite Eric Jaffe takes us along on his quest to find out what happened to his long lost frat brothers and in doing so questions the worth of higher education.
Jaffe is an immediately likeable performer whose easygoing charm holds his audience thoughout his performance.
He uses minimal props, relying on accents and body language to feature a number of the frat brothers. The humour comes from their reminiscing about their wasted (in more ways than one) university days, while the pathos is drawn from their crooked career paths.
Okay, pathos is a little strong. C- is like sitting around telling tales with those affable scamps found at university parties. Engaging but not too deep.
Oh, and what did he find after tracking down 65 of his former brothers? Let’s just say slacker = sales.
