KRISIT

   There’s not a lot of fat to trim in KRISIT  a satire on Hollywood…    Skewering the greed vanity and bloated egos of Hollywood types is an easy target that has been done more times than Krisit’s crow’sfeet But York’s script has plenty of clever quips… Robert Dominguez Daily NewsWhat is Krisit … a reclusive and peevish former movie star who hasn’t left her home in 25 years When the show opens she’s lolling in her tub wearing makeup and flashy jewels and being the sharp brooksnoargument grand dame with her new maid Lulu Lulu is clearly roleplaying She’s entirely too knowledgeable about who’s who and who’s doing what to who in Hollywood She reads the industry press a little too avidly and she’s awfully eager to lure Krisit out of retirement In no time Lulu is taking a meeting with director Peter who has a history with Krisit and a stalled career that makes him desperate to have a project greenlighted York uses the setup to have fun commenting with engaging and occasionally brutal honesty on many things including the insults of aging Krisit has a leakage issue Peter trades in wives for younger models to convince himself he still has whatever it is he needs to tell himself he has… York’s voice is distinct as she reminds us how myopically we see ourselves even as we are blind to key truths and about our relentless pursuit of ambitions which are generally not worth relentless pursuit York also shows off a demented imagination with things like her solution for what to do with liposuctioned fat… Jackie Demaline Cincinnati Equirer
