Review: pomme is french for apple (Fringe)


by Jessica Yen

Presented by Paul Watson Productions, this might be the funniest hour you see at the Fringe. Bahia Watson and Liza Paul have written several hilarious short vignettes that will have you yelling "AMEN!". It's a play about womanhood with all its peaks and perils, but that shouldn't deter men from seeing the show. The entire audience, men and women alike were howling with laughter. You could say the show is feminist, but Paul and Watson are so exuberant and playful that you never feel like you're being preached at. Watson and Paul are a delightful duo, they transform into many different characters, each one with brilliant physicality. I commend them on their clever use of pink circle scarves which had the audience in stitches. Along with short scenes there are also fun songs that you might catch yourself singing later in the day.  I can't wait to see where this show goes next. Go to this show, bring friends!
