The doorbell rings and that means there must be someone at the door. It's the Fire Chief! The characters are colorfully dull. The cartoons for The Bald Soprano by Eugene Ionesco show my best caricatures. It is due to these amazing actors and actresses. The space was an actual art gallery and the boring stillness that is abruptly taken for a spin when the Smith's (Tina Brock and Bob Schmidt) invite Mr. and Mrs. Martin (John Zak and Sonja Robeson). The maid, played by Tomas Dura, seems to be the only sane one there. The Fire Chief, played by Arien Hancock, tells stories to entertain the other guests. But he must be getting back to work putting out fires. The emergency at the end of the play is a rambling of here and there and not there, this way! In my observation, the sketches show how imagination can be a parallel world that draws out a tiny bit of excitement for Mr. and Mrs. Smith in the pictures above. The dialogue of Ionesco is forever riveting.
