An Actor in Search of a Plot
BS* Productions • Professional company
About the show
An Actor in Search of a Plot is a riotous one-man show from BS* Productions in which an out-of-work actor is hired by an eccentric film producer to find the next Bond movie plot. This absurd satirical premise launches the protagonist into a whirlwind adventure through the surreal world of Bond allies and villains. Packed with lightning-fast character changes, rapid-fire dialogue, and non-stop laughs, the show blends suspense, intrigue, and razor-sharp wit into a high-octane comedy for Fringe audiences.
Why see this show?
A one-man Bond adventure is a strong comic premise, and lightning-fast character changes at Willow Studio make for a proper showcase of solo performance craft. Absurd, satirical, and — if the pitch holds — genuinely funny.
