Meteor Shower by Steve Martin

Yes! THAT Steve Martin!

A Mockingbird Theatre Company Production

PRODUCTION ADVICE
This performance contains adult themes 15+

Corky and Norm are excited to host Gerald and Laura at their home in the valley outside Los Angeles to watch a once-in-a-lifetime meteor shower. But as the stars come out and the conversation gets rolling, it becomes clear that Gerald and Laura might not be all that they appear to be. Over the course of a crazy, starlit dinner party, the wildly unexpected occurs. The couples begin to flirt and insanity reigns. Martin, using his trademark absurdist humour, bends the fluid nature of time and reality to create a surprising and unforgettably funny new play.

PLEASE NOTE: The play is a laugh-out-loud adult-themed comedy with sexually suggestive (both straight and same-sex) scenes and language.

“…a wild and laugh-filled rocket ride” – San Diego Union Tribune

“…Mr. Martin is peerless at crafting tiny wit bombs, and always has been… It’s definitely funny!” – The New York Times

“…A very funny play. Keening-like-a-howler-monkey funny. Design-a-new-cry-laughing-emoji funny.” – Entertainment Weekly

“…Meteor Shower sparks with the same anarchic energy as Martin’s reckless comedy Picasso at the Lapin Agile.” – Deadline

Cast: Jess Beange, Maxine Eayrs, Anto Hermida & Sachin Nayak

Directed by Chris Baldock (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time)

    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.

    There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
