I wouldn't mind if Different Stages produced a different Charles Ludlum play every season. What divine ridiculousness. In "Stage Blood," the subject is "Hamlet" and old-school theatricality. Along with chunks of Shakespeare, we get ancient backstage jokes, perfectly overacted parts, and campy meta-theater at its best/worst. Will Douglas is a stand-out in a cast that uniformly gets director Norman Blumensaadt's sensibilities. Some scenes drag, but who notices?

Stage Blood is ridiculous by design, and Different Stages seems to know exactly how ridiculous to let it be.

If you enjoy theatre making fun of itself, Stage Blood is your kind of comedy. Different Stages embraces Charles Ludlam's gloriously ridiculous script with wit, slapstick, and plenty of theatrical mischief. Three acts, countless laughs, and an audience more than willing to join the fun.
