Event Review: A Behanding in Spokane
I saw "A Behanding in Spokane" today and I have to say I was rather disappointed. I was disappointed in the writing. I'm no prude and I can take a lot of swearing and sexual innuendo, but the swearing in this play was way over the top. The f-word was repeated several times in almost every sentence, and it wasn't just spoken. It was usually yelled at the top of the voice. It really detracted from the show. I don't know if it was meant to illustrate the anger of all of the characters or what, but it was just too much. I went thinking that I was ready for some dark humor, and there were some funny lines and situations, but the use of the f-word really made the show seem angry and unfunny. I would not recommend this show until it is rewritten with the f-word removed from about 3/4ths of the lines. I think a more judicious use of the f-word might make the show more enjoyable. I have no objection to its use in the right places, just tone it down a bit.
