Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins Tom for her weekly review of one of the region's thespian offerings.
Today, she spotlights Fallout, the play by Laura King that's being staged by Baltimore's Vagabond Players as part of the Baltimore Playwrights Festival. It's directed by Audra Mains Mullen, and stars Gareth Kelly as David and Ryan Gunning as Anna, two strangers with issues, who seek refuge from an unknown menace in a fallout shelter, a relic of the nuclear holocaust paranoia that raged during the Cold War. In the tight confines of the shelter, Anna and David wrestle with their inner demons, even as they deal with their terror of what lurks outside.
The Vagabond Players' production of Fallout -- one of just two plays to be fully-staged in this year's Baltimore Playwrights Festival -- runs through Sunday, July 30. Special Thursday show July 27, 8 pm; Friday and Saturday 8 pm, Sunday 2 pm.
The Vagabond Players is located at 806 South Broadway, Baltimore, MD 21231.
