Dan Frost in BOTALLACK O'CLOCK. Photo by Carol Rosegg. |
Written
and directed by Eddie Elks and starring Dan Frost as Roger Hilton and Rhys King
as the radio - yes, the radio! – (and as an oversexed bear that haunts Hilton’s
imagination to boot), Botallack O’Clock
received rave reviews when it was staged at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in
2012. Third Man Theatre has now brought
the play to New York where Frost is reprising his celebrated role as the
tortured abstract artist at 59E59 Theaters in midtown Manhattan as part of the
Brits Off Broadway program. A fine
actor, Frost plays the part of the obsessed, alcoholic painter with expressive
intensity as he seeks to navigate the fine line that separates madness from
artistic genius and, to that end, he is ably supported by King (who again plays
the radio and the bear).
