Earlier the director sent me this promo video and rehearsal photos.
CATCH OF THE DAY
A nervous mother is preparing to entertain her daughter and the daughter’s new boyfriend. She’s eager for the match to succeed. She’s instructed her husband to pick up some fish on the way home for dinner; he mistakenly acquires a fugu, a type of fish prized as a delicacy in Japan — but which is also highly poisonous, if improperly prepared. Naturally, the woman succeeds in poisoning the daughter and her boyfriend — sending them into a trance. Comedy ensues, while the pair are frozen in position through part of the play. Cast: Two males, two females. Running time: 30 minutes.
* Staged reading as a radio play by Falcon Radio Theatre, Seattle, Washington, April 23, 2013.
Mom gets ready for the arrival of the daughter’s new boyfriend.
The haggard, put-upon dad.
Uh-oh, this boyfriend is not what they imagined.
Like, really not what they imagined.
Nobody ever imagines fugu poisoning, either.
Really, no one ever plans on this.
Complications ensue.
The happy ending. We think.
The cast with the two directors.
