I attended last night's Scapegoat performance and was sadly disappointed. This play is not up to the normally high standards of Asheville's trend-setting theater collective.
The fault was at least as much with the script as the performance. The failure to establish any sense of the surreal left one feeling that the reference to Dali was contrived. There was no sense of it being a "reflection of a reflection." (It should be noted that Shane Meador's set did draw on Dali's images to good effect.)
There were some good individual performances: Ashley Marchesi's debut performance as the Cat was adroit. She played off well against Art Moore's lecherous Coyote. Scott Fisher is a delight as Martin.
Unfortunately, the entirety never reached out to take hold of the audience and my own disappointment was shared with other audience members I talked with and overheard.
