This funny, political satire about language explores how we communicate and 'mis-underestimate' each other. Guided by works of Lewis Carroll and Donald Rumsfeld and inspired by messages of fear and hope, the play reveals the 'sub' and 'con' of 'text.' 75 minutes

frenchlit on 2009-07-22 said... I saw \"Quick Brown Fox\" at the Fringe Festival last weekend and it was brilliant. The cast was excellent and delivered the insightful and comic lines with precision. Many of the plays I have seen at the fringe over the years tend to be extended silly sketches with no larger point. Not this play, which was cleverly written by Michael Merino and is expertly directed by Kerri Rambow. The work is smart and deals with very important issues of our time: how language is manipulated by politicians and how facts are misrepresented by the media. During the performance, I found myself listening very closely to decipher what is being said and determine what is not being said. The production underscores the important responsibility of being a skeptical yet informed citizen. Go see it. You will enjoy this entertaining and thought-provoking play.
