MYSTERY, SEX<br />

THRIVE AT THE SOL<br />

By Ron Levitt,Theatre Critic<br />

A-ONE CAST, SKILLED DIRECTION<br />

Playwright Brad Fraser provides his audience with a peek at seven people<br />

who are looking for love, but also gives <strong>the</strong>atre-goers a mystery to solve<br />

in <strong>the</strong> sex-driven play currently at <strong>the</strong> Sol Theatre Project in<br />

Fort Lauderdale. It’s title – Unidentified Human Remains And The True<br />

Nature of Love – gives just an inkling of what is in store when you take in<br />

this riveting performance at this tiny fringe <strong>the</strong>atre which thrives on<br />

producing off-beat, often gay-<strong>the</strong>med stories.<br />

This production – one of <strong>the</strong> best presented in years at Sol – is about<br />

individuals in a large urban areas who are searching for relationships, love<br />

or just plain sex – homosexual, heterosexual, even sado-masochism. But, it<br />

is also a mystery in which <strong>the</strong> audience is attuned to select which one of <strong>the</strong><br />

seven is a serial killer.This play is definitely a mystery waiting to be solved.<br />

Also, in <strong>the</strong> mix is <strong>the</strong> question of what really is “love.”<br />

Warning – <strong>the</strong>re is nudity (both male and female) but it is done for reality<br />

ra<strong>the</strong>r than sensationalism. After all, this play is about sex and love –<br />

and sex in <strong>the</strong> nude is not unexpected.<br />

The credit for this intriguing avant-garde thriller should go equally<br />

to <strong>the</strong> visionary author and <strong>the</strong> director Robert Hooker, who has earned<br />

a reputation as being a fearless producer of off-beat plays. His stamp<br />

of fearlessness is apparent in this production. He keeps <strong>the</strong> stage movement<br />

flowing step by step so that <strong>the</strong> audience is intrigued to select <strong>the</strong><br />

serial killer.<br />

But, it is also necessary to praise <strong>the</strong> A-One cast: Mat<strong>the</strong>w Chapman,<br />

Erynn Dalton, Kim Ehly, Angel Perez, Jeison Tomi and especially<br />

Dominick Giombetti and Julia Clearwood. When Giombetti and<br />

Clearwood are on stage, <strong>the</strong>ir presence is felt throughout <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>atre.<br />

Giombetti, who first came to attention in last year’s Trafficking In Broken<br />

Hearts, and Clearwood are a dynamic duo.<br />

But, without distracting in any way from <strong>the</strong> director or actors, <strong>the</strong> playwright’s<br />

verbal brilliance is at <strong>the</strong> heart of this sometimes-down-righthumorous<br />

– yet serious – play. Author Fraser is one of Canada’s most<br />

versatile writers for stage and film.<br />

Like all of <strong>the</strong> Sol’s productions, this one is not for everyone.<br />

Yes, leave <strong>the</strong> kids at home! This <strong>the</strong>atrical experience is for open-minded<br />

adults only.<br />
