6 January 2005 Like other productions at Pocket Sandwich Theatre, Fu Manchu: The Melodrama is a venture in daffy improbability. The producers explain Fu Manchu thusly: "Brilliant English detective Nayland Smith matches wits with the mad Oriental genius and villain Fu Manchu, who is bent on world conquest." Translation: There will be many opportunities to throw popcorn at the actors performing Fu Manchu, popcorn-tossing being the preferred sign of approval at Pocket Sandwich. --Claiborne Smith From the Dallas Report ©2005 New Times All rights reserved. |
