review of

10

Kevin Augustine's "10" was generating signifigant buzz and turned out to be the most exciting of the shows I saw; "10" is an hour of psychologically eerie puppetry and monolouge with an edgily sweet twist. Written and staged by Augustine, who also designed the puppets - compelling, life-size foam-rubber figures with the craggy features of crude stone carvings, has two adept puppeteers bring the creations to life with a sorrowful gentleness in unsettling contrast to his tense, febrile John Malkovich-like energy. Working barefoot (his feet manipulate the puppets as well) he creates a compelling drama as moving as it is creepy. Roll a show like "10" and you've come up a winner.
