the voice on the tape, and then
asks her to go to her basement
where C inder discovers a dead
body.
To unravel the mystery. Cinder is
joined by Detective Ink Blot, and it
doesn't take long before the mur
ders, and even the dead body, joins
in on the tilted narrative and comic
songs.
SPLAT, is the fifth play in Carol
T riffle’s series o f whim sical, off-
kilter musicals examining smal 1 mo-
ments and large tragedies in the
comedic turmoil of a lead heroine.
The play continues Triffle’s un
conventional, non-linear approach
to comedy and theatre, where things
are never played out as expected,
and song is interspersed not to ac
cent the action, but more to flip it
over.
The Theatre is located on 17 S.E.
Eighth Ave.Tickets are $8 and pur
chased at Imago Box Office: 503-
231 -9581 or Tickets West outlets.
