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.

Retro Productions will put their own unique spin on a revival of Eric Overmyer’s play On the Verge (or the Geography of Yearning), that follows Mary, Alex and Fanny as they travel into the future and discover a world that is beyond anything they could imagine. The epic journey takes them through the jungle, over ice cliffs and right up to an Esso station in 1950’s America where their greatest adventures await - including their first encounter with Cool Whip.
