Review: ON THE VERGE at Fells Point Corner Theatre

ON THE VERGE, directed by Kimberley Lynne, is a delightful and thought-provoking journey through time, place and imagination. Eric Overmyer's 1986 play centers on three intrepid Victorian lady explorers-Mary(Shelby Sullivan), Alex (Barbara Madison Hauck) and Fanny (Nikki Jay)-who set out on a trek through Terra Incognita, a mysterious land filled with quirky characters, surreal encounters and unforeseen twists.  The adventure starts in 1888 but extends through decades where the objects and language of the future infiltrate and mesh with the reality and thoughts of the characters in their present.
