Posted in the Offshore Folder, here ("Any Friend of Percy D'Angelino is a Friend of Mine")
That's the name of the play put on stage by the Little Theater Group, down here in Escazu, Costa Rica.
This play was originally put on stage off-broadway over a decade ago and one of the main characters, Tony, is brought to life by our very own Judge Wapner, who actually had the same part in the original play; this time also sharing the stage with 2 more characters, one of them personified by Lisa, Judge's wife.
The plot is very simple yet a work of histrionic virtuosos, Tony (Judge) "drops in on" a Italian capo (Frank) at his house, getting to know Julie (Lisa), Frank's wife, in the process. Tony pretends to be the "friend of a friend" looking for a job, but he's really looking to learn more about Frank and his ways, since he is in reality an actor who will play as Frank in a new movie about his life. The most unexpected situations surge and personally, I couldn't stop laughing.
Very simple in structure the play is brought to life resorting to a black box stage. From there on, it's all about the talent of the 3 actors.
A fresh, hilarious and original high energy journey, highlighted by inspired acting from a superb cast. An exhilarated comedy with witty dialogues, worth of being enjoyed time after time. Judge Wapner carries the movie, with a performance so casual that you only realize later how deep it goes.
I'd like to thank Judge for having invited us. Those laughs came at a time when I could use them the most, blood.
And I wanted to share this with my fellow posters. As Judge said it's always good to take a little time for culture, slobs.
Congratulations to the cast and many thanks to the Little Theater Group -and their Angels- that not only makes this possible, but a group that uses the funds they raise to help children in need among other things.
