Fear factor: "Charlie Victor Romeo," at PS122, dramatizes black-box recordings from six airplane crashes. Photo Credit: Robert Berger "By contrast, two of the best plays I saw last month were clearly mounted on the cheap. Take "Charlie Victor Romeo," just extended through July 31 at P.S. 122. A production of Collective: Unconscious, it consists of black-box recordings of six airplane crashes (the title is military phonetic alphabet code for "Cockpit Voice Recorder"), dramatized with self-effacing skill and performed on a no-frills cockpit set that looks as though it couldn't have cost more than a couple of hundred dollars to build. The results are as real as an overheard conversation -- and as frightening as a heart attack. It isn't for the squeamish, but if you've got the nerve, "Charlie Victor Romeo" is the scariest show in town." By Terry Teachout |
