Flemming (An American Thriller)

Being happy doesn’t have to make sense

Talk about a midlife crisis: Henry Flemming decides to dump his profitable brokerage company so that he can launch a new career as a detective in Sam Babrick’s comedy, Flemming, (An American Thriller).The play, a spoof of the 1940s and ’50s film noir genre, is called as a “wonderful wacky whodunit” in press materials, and it seems to more than live up to the description. Flemming’s very first case involves a quickly growing pile of dead bodies, and although his wife and neighbors are increasingly concerned about Flemming’s new line of work (each day he comes home more and more unkempt, with new cuts and bruises), he’s having the time of his life. 8:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 3 p.m. May 2 and 9. Theatre Suburbia, 4106 Way Out West Drive. For information, call 713-682-3525 or visit www.theatresuburbia.com. $12 to $14.
Fridays, Saturdays. Starts: April 16. Continues through May 15, 2010
