Tongue-in-cheek and quirky you will find the action and
ideas in ‘Keeping Mum’ both fun and
gregarious.
Peter is a fledgling
actor looking for his slot in the difficult world of acting. Kate, his sister,
is a high maintenance woman without the money or prospects to pull it off. Their mother has been in declining health and
they both know that in only seven more days, they will finally receive their
trust money. Their mum only has to live for seven more days and they will be
home free. For Kate this means
everything. She has spent more than she can afford and is now in dire trouble.
It is with both shock and dismay when Kate shows for a visit
only to find that their mum has passed away. In a panic she calls her brother,
and even in her anxiety she has a plan.
She knows that Peter has auditioned for a part that requires
someone to play an elderly woman. He feel like he flubbed his chances and his
sister Kate uses this to her advantage. With the right props and makeup he can
pretend to be their mum for the next seven days and then they can announce her
death. In the meantime they can put her in the big freezer and thaw her when
the time comes. Peter thinks she is
crazy and will have none of it. When she comes clean with the mess of her life
and the immediacy of her need he begrudging concurs, and so begins the fun and irresistible
romp of humor and drama that pulls you in.
If you are a fan of the absurd and bizarre, this will fill
the bill. If you enjoy comedy and strange behaviors then you are sure to enjoy
the antics. I look forward to following the comedic situation as it unwinds,
and believe that Perrin Briar has done a great job of setting a story and
creating characters that seem a perfect fit. You will want to read his episodes in their
entirety to get the full comedic scope of his drama.
