Fondly, Collette Richland: 4 Stars
By David Cote
Playwright Sibyl Kempson and the multifarious Elevator Repair Service have engendered something rare: real insanity in the theater. I mean no disrespect to the artistry of all involved or even the clinically bonkers: Fondly, Collette Richland is a vast, flapping freak flag, a surreal farce about the struggle between pre-Christian, Earth-mother eco-anarchy and the awful boredom of bourgeois patriarchy. At least I think it is. Thickly encrypted and swaddled in mystery, Fondly defies description and cozy comprehension. Writing about it is no breeze either.
