The Chronic Ills of Robert Zimmerman: The Old Fitzroy Theatre
Go, go go!
Do not miss this show!
Benito Di Fonzo has a
decidedly twisted view
of existence which only
serves to feed the madness of this quirky show –
The Chronic Ills of Robert Zimmerman: AKA Bob Dylan (A Lie) -
A Theatrical Talking Blues –
playing at the Old Fitzroy.
He is a writer and performer of diverse tastes and he
doesn’t shrink from tasting
all there is.
This gives his talented director and ensemble
of actors the opportunity
to also taste the fruits of their own art with relish and delight.
I enjoyed seeing a kaleidoscope of
characters from my own past a singin’ and a dancin’ their celebrity
heads off. Congratulations to
Andrew Henry, Leonore Munro,
and Matt Ralph as the Zimm.
As for Lucinda Gleeson’s direction and Simon Rippingdale’s music, why be shackled? I agree.
Go for it! That’s what theatre
needs. And the metaphorical burning of the effigy? If you blinked you missed it, but then you would really be missing something.
Well done to all.
