Review: The Fire Raisers from The Hidden Room

If satire is a meal, Max Frisch's The Fire Eaters is a particularly hot and mouthwatering one. Director Beth Burns has taken Frisch's recipe and cooked up the perfect blend of delectability and presentation. The comedy savors of deep absurdist wit, the metaphor is irresistible, and the blend of music and light create a classical atmosphere. Among the standout performers from an outstanding cast were the charming one-man band Michael Ferstenfeld, the always-delightful Kelly Hasandras, and a wickedly confounded Robert Matney. Get there and see for yourself.
