Things get bumpy when the ladies arrive with lecherous plans of their own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bray\u2019s dialogue is brisk and literary, with lots of campy humor that brings the genre immediately to life. MacDonald is commanding and pompous, with a nice mixture of charm and vulgarity. Ira Henderson is sweet as the bumbling, awkward and jittery writer. Keith Morrison has great vocal and physical comedy as the Butler and Colleen MacIsaac and Genevieve Jones titter hilariously as the prostitutes. Director Stephanie Kincaid keeps the pacing of the banter between characters sharp, while milking every opportunity for melodramatics and absurdity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In all, this is a great little gem from Taboo Theatre\u2019s Evening of Grand Guignol.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>TWISI Rating:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/4-of-5-stars.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1994\" alt=\"4 of 5 stars\" src=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/4-of-5-stars.jpg\" width=\"234\" height=\"57\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>Criminal N<\/strong><\/em><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong><em>egligee<\/em> at the Atlantic Fringe Festival has closed.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>photo by emily jewer Dan Bray\u2019s original sex farce Criminal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4671],"tags":[3255,3219,5127,3212,5099,5125,5126,5128,3266],"class_list":["post-2155","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-review","tag-colleen-macisaac","tag-dan-bray","tag-genevieve-jones","tag-halifax-fringe","tag-ira-henderson","tag-jimmy-macdonald","tag-keith-morrison","tag-steph-kincaid","tag-taboo-theatre"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Criminal Negligee - The Way I See It Theatre &amp;
