THEATRE REVIEW: Intriguing maiden voyage for local playwright’s campy sci-fi romp. shrewds
Small Steps
Now Austin’s Shrewd Productions appears to have discovered a lost chapter from Ray Bradbury’s 1950 sci-fi novelThe work, which is receiving its world premiere production at Hyde Park Theatre, was actually created by local playwright Briandaniel Oglesby. Like Bradbury’s classic novel, it too chronicles the exploration and settlement of Mars by Americans leaving a troubled Earth.
The play revolves around Skip Powers, played by an abundantly charming and thoroughly engaging Dane Parker. Skip’s a sweet young man of low self-esteem who has come to realize that no one will ever love him. Disconnected from his family, disheartened by bad experiences on gay hookup apps, and with no interest in contributing to the planet’s gene pool, Skip volunteers to go on a one-way solo trip to Mars in pursuit of greater things.
