The Outer Puppets is busting at the seams from its tremendous volume of creative juices. I left the theater feeling invigorated by the designs, the rich wit, the smart and playful performances, and not least because of the seductively immersive score played live by musicians Naa Koshie Mills, Dan Sullivan and Beth Thomason. If I were to look at the work from on high I would write about its examination of our destructive urge to outclass our mere humanness. But that wouldn’t do justice to the work’s ribald spirit. So as a mere human I’ll just say: This is one cool, rockin’ show.
