A man takes his girlfriend to a small cabin near a river. He teaches her how to fish and then he cooks their fresh catch. He tells her that he loves her and that he has never taken another woman here before. However, the girlfriend sees clues that another woman has been in the cabin. The girlfriend walks off the stage and another girlfriend walks on, which leaves the audience to figure out what is happening.
Jez Butterworth has written a very funny, romantic, and dramatic play. Loose Cannon has done a great job capturing each of those elements. Considering this is only their second production, their future looks bright.
Cameron Schmalz is great as the man who has a developed a routine to win over his girlfriends. Greta Schultz is great as the girlfriend who pretends she doesn’t know how to fish. Ellie Duffey is excellent as the girlfriend who teases him about talking to another fisherman at the river. Lastly, Abbie Rasmus is solid in her supporting role.
