By now
every lover of comic theatre must have seen “Greater Tuna” at least once. This
reviewer has seen it many times. The comic send-up of red neck southern
“culture” penned by Ed Howard, Joe Sears and Jaston Williams is hilarious. “A Tuna Christmas” is the second installment,
which is followed by “Red White and Tuna” and “Tuna Does Vegas.” Unfortunately as we have discovered in
nearly every medium sequels seldom deliver the goods as well as the original.
“Greater Tuna”
set the bar pretty high. In all its incarnations two men portray a fantasia of over
twenty characters of both sexes and multiple ages. All your favorite characters
are there: Dee Dee Snavely, Vera Carp, Petey Fisk and Bertha Buemiller head the
list.
Christian
Mast and Seth Maisel, the two men who portray this town-full of redneck
eccentrics are gifted comic actors. One does however, wish for a bit of
modulation in the vocal amperage, as well as a slower suhthuhn drawl in certain
vignettes.
If you’re
looking for a non-traditional play for the holiday season this may be the ticket.
