WARNING: THE FOLLOWING REVIEW IS PRESENTED IN 5.1 EX SURROUND SOUND. IT=20
DOESN=E2=80=99T HELP.=20
Mike: (English accent) Greetings and salutations. He=E2=80=99s not Mike.=20
Ike: (Southern accent) He ain=E2=80=99t Ike. =20
M: Ladies and gentlemen, we have a request. At some point this week-end,=
=20
as many of you as possible need to take a drive out to Hiram. It is a=20
beautiful village, as they call it.=20
I: It=E2=80=99s clean, has some nice buildings and, as far as we could tel=
l, is=20
minority free.=20
M: While you are enjoying the fresh air and lack of parking lots, go to=20
Bates Hall and see the play =E2=80=9CDead and Gone to Granny=E2=80=99s.=E2=
=80=9D Don=E2=80=99t even bother =20
reading the rest of our review.=20
I: Like anybody reads em anyway.=20
M: Just make plans to see this show. It doesn=E2=80=99t matter what the pl=
ay is =20
about. See it. First off, it is an Ohio premiere. Yes, dear friends, prai=
se=20
be to Christ, Allah, Buddah, Herne, Tiamat, Loki, Zeus, and Dennis Weaver,=20
SOMEONE has realized that audiences around here might be interested in some=
thing=20
new.=20
I: It was written in the late 90=E2=80=99s.=20
M: It=E2=80=99s new to us. This is the second show of a summer season at=20=
Hiram=20
college produced by (Here=E2=80=99s that magic word again) a new company ou=
t of=20
Cleveland.=20
I: Odd name, though: Tyst.=20
M: As impossible as this is to believe, you=E2=80=99re pronouncing it wron=
g.=20
I: Don=E2=80=99t make me hit you.=20
PAUSE=20
I: Second thought, go ahead.=20
M: It doesn=E2=80=99t rhyme with cyst, it rhymes with Proust. The word is=
Swedish =20
for silence. And why did they choose such a name for their company?=20
I: Someone was high?=20
M: Tyst!=20
I: I knew that was gonna start.=20
M: The name was chosen because the company is presenting only Scandinavian=
=20
performances, theatrical as well as dance, and modern ones at that.=20
I: They have art in Scandinavia?=20
M: Tyst.=20
I: That is gonna get real old real fast.=20
M: Not for me! So we have a new company that is dedicated to giving its=20
audience work that most likely, they have never seen before.=20
I: Ya know what that means? No Neil Simon! No Shakespeare (Not sayin=E2=
=80=99 he=E2=80=99
s a bad writer but let=E2=80=99s face it. His stuff is done to death)! B=
est of=20
all, not one person will sing a single chorus of =E2=80=9CClimb Every Moun=
tain.=E2=80=9D=20
M: That alone is reason for your unending support. This is a good play. =20
This is a play you=E2=80=99ve never seen before. Go. It=E2=80=99s worth =20=
it.=20
I: We done kissin=E2=80=99 ass?=20
M: Lay into it.=20
I: Okay, =E2=80=9CDead and Gone to Granny=E2=80=99s=E2=80=9D is written by=
an apparently famous=20
Finnish playwright whose name has a lot of vowels. Now I don=E2=80=99t kno=
w a lot =20
about Finland, except it=E2=80=99s the country where I quite want to be, so=20=
this is what=20
I have learned about it from the play. Everyone in Finland is highly=20
intelligent. They have long, multi-layered conversations to prove how high=
ly=20
intelligent they are. They hate Italians. Everyone has sex with everyone e=
lse, =20
married or not. The most popular method of suicide is an electrified Kille=
r=20
Bee Kaiser helmet. Oh yes, and they=E2=80=99re all self serving pricks.=20
M: ISAAC!=20
I: That=E2=80=99s what I learned! Course I think that about Americans as =20=
well, so=20
it=E2=80=99s good to know that people are alike all over.=20
M: Did you even like the play?=20
I: Hell, yeah. Well acted, well directed (By a guy who moved here from Ne=
w=20
York for some insane reason), and as far as dysfunctional family melodrama=
s=20
go, this is one of the better ones. PLUS, it=E2=80=99s worth the price of=
=20
admission just for the final image, which takes everything I=E2=80=99ve jus=
t said and puts it=20
all into perspective. Only thing this show needed ta make it perfect was a=
=20
transvestite.=20
M: Ike.=20
I: What?=20
M: Tyst.=20
I: Damn you, limey!
