On The Spot Theatre Company presents a double bill of two related one-act comedies: What About Martha? and All About Armando!
Berger Park Coach House Theater April 2017
In What About Martha, when a young woman, Alison, who works IT temp support, confides a secret she sets off a chain reaction of exponential comedy. With a delightfully quirky cast of characters, that includes a film obsessed professor, a writer of instructions, a political telephone pollster, an opinionated psychologist and a frustrated florist, What About Martha, asks the question we would perhaps all like to answer: can we truly be ourselves and be loved back for it?
All About Armando, follows the same characters three months later. The florist now runs a spice shop, the psychologist does webcasts, the instruction writer a food blog for men who can’t cook, and Alison works for the mysterious Armando of Armando’s Restaurant. A series of confusions unfold when characters conceal information they should have shared, reversing the situation of the previous play. Truths are hilariously revealed during a webcast that once again shows that honesty may be in short supply, but the need for love and connection is endless.
