My overall impression
I wish I had sat in the front row for this one. Robin Walsh plays the devil… and the devil is a puppet… and it’s awesome. After about 3 minutes I found myself not paying attention to Robin the puppeteer and only looking at the devil himself and his red eyes. This is somehow a fully realized character, who speaks, moves and even plays the violin on stage. All while giving his thoughts about himself, humanity and our many flaws as a species. Kila Packett is fantastic as the voice of the devil. The word that comes to mind for his voice is “descriptive”. Tones go up and down depending on the scene and he is a clearly talented voice actor. I’m glad that shows like this exist. This isn’t “normal” theater. This is different from just about anything else you’ll see at Fringe 2015. Catch a late night show to add an extra layer of creepy. Great Show.
