Vick’s Boy By Ben Bettenbender Directed by Bob Balaban October – November 1999 with Jim Brachitta Johanna Day Justin Hagen Andrew Polk Rob Sedgwick SETS Van Santvoord LIGHTS Ed McCarthy COSTUMES David Woolard SOUND Laura Grace Brown PSM Feredrica Lippi PRESS Crommarty & Co. |
A comedy with an edge of pugnaciousness, Vick’s Boy focuses on Lester (Andrew Polk), a hopelessly nerdy corporate cog who recalls what might have become of J. Pierrepont Finch (in the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying) if poor Ponty hadn’t done good. Lester becomes intertwined with Vick (Rob Sedgwick), an opportunistic colleague several administrative levels above Lester who has just piqued the libidinal interest of Molly (Johanna Day), the evil boss by day who transmogrifies into a self-repressed, sexually-starved woman at night. Film the tryst, Vick asks his boy, and then, through the magic of corporate blackmail, all promotions and power shall be theirs for the taking.
FROM THE NYTIMES:
... thanks to a smart, energetic cast and direction, by Bob Balaban, that could make most video combat games look slower than shuffleboard, the Rattlestick Productions version of ‘‘Vick’s Boy’‘ keeps an audience laughing for two hours.
