LORD BUTTERSCOTCH AND THE CURSE OF THE DARKWATER PHANTOM Noted playwrights
Lisa Dillman, Rebecca Gilman, and Brett Neveu teamed up for this sophomoric
spoof of pre-World War I mysteries and romances. These three are gifted writers, but
parody is not their forte. Set at a supposedly haunted English country estate, this mostly unfunny comedy pokes fun at writers ranging from Mary Roberts Rinehart and Elinor Glynn to D.H. Lawrence and P.G. Wodehouse. But the self-indulgent, often vulgar script is woefully short on wit, and Blindfaith Theatre’s production relies on broad physical humor that quickly grows tiresome. The show’s saving graces are composer Mikhail Fiksel’s live incidental music and designer Grant Sabin’s clever set, which depicts the estate’s walls and doors as a giant tea service. –Albert William
