Stage Review

PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS (2012)

EW's GRADE
B-

Details Lead Performances: David Friend and Simon Morley

What's more absurd -- that a guy can morph his genitals into Hannibal Lecter, or that 295 people have paid to watch? Either way, there's something perversely fascinating here. Maybe it's performers Simon and Friendy, affable Aussies with stunning flexibility and no shame. Or their impressive global installations (a.k.a. ''D -- - Tricks'') like the Eiffel Tower. It could be the 12-foot video screen, which captures every inch of the action. If you've got an appetite for adventure and a strong stomach (you'll need it for the fried chicken segment), grab some girlfriends and get ready to laugh -- at the guys, at the idea of penis puppetry, and at yourselves for being there.
