The Eco Show is a new Necessary Angel co-pro currently playing at Buddies. It's also the latest work written and directed by Daniel Brooks, so it would seem to go without saying that it's one of the most visually striking plays of the season, with masterful use of sound, lighting and A/V. It tells the story of a mysterious, insular family presided over by the sanctimonious and wheelchair-bound patriarch Hamm (yes, ha ha). Put-upon wife Gwen takes care of Hamm, his dying father, his sick daughter Fifi and his moody teenage son Joe. Don't be fooled by the title. Although Hamm is prone to the odd "what is the environment coming to?" tirades, the ecology being scrutinized by the piece is a very small and particular one: that of the featured family itself.
