The Vestige Group, known for exploring dark, intense dramas with controversial themes, presented in both mainstream theatres and alternative spaces, celebrates their 5th anniversary season with “Bash: Three Plays,” a series of intense monologues by critically-acclaimed American playwright and film director Neil LaBute. His recent work includes films such as The Wicker Man (2006), Lakeview Terrace (2008), and Death at a Funeral (2010). The Vestige Group has been drawn to Neil LaBute's misanthropic work since its very first production in 2005 when they captivated audiences with “Fat Pig.” Coming full circle, The Vestige Group delves back into LaBute with “Bash: Three Plays,” which will have a three week run Thursday, May 6 – Saturday, May 22.

If you bought the play you could use your imagination to create a better produced, acted, and engaging night of theatre.
Disclaimer: I love Neil LeBute. I enjoyed the vestige's decent version of Fat Pig. However, I feel that the vestige group has missed the depth of LeBute's writing. Sure it is shocking, but it should also be beautiful and engaging. The acting was less than stellar, the production quality was more akin to an acting class, and the direction seemed to miss the point of the pieces.
For these reasons I cannot recommend to anyone who loves LeBute's work to see the show. Go to Amazon and buy the show. Also check out his newest "Reasons to be Pretty"

Setting was intimate as was each of the 3 separate acts. Balancing a normal storytelling of an event with a slight twist. Story well told, characterizations clearly portrayed by the actors. Intriguing but there wasn't a wow factor in the deed of the secret. Possibly we were to provide that as the audience. A job well done, but pacing whether intended or not left me wanting for a moment of self-doubt by the characters.

Bash is filled with 4 incredibly talented actors who bring so much emotion and life to LaBute's characters. This drama has some jaw dropping moments - the characters all seem at first like normal everyday people but soon you find that they all carry with them very dark secrets - secrets that make you cringe. A well produced drama for all to see. Check it our before it closes. The Theatre space is small so get your tickets early because the final two weekends will very likely sell out.

When spectacle seems to rule American entertainment, the riskiest thing a one can do is to simply allow an actor to tell a story. In “Bash: Three Plays”, that risk pays off. LaBute explores the stories of four, seemingly, normal people: a salesman, college sweethearts, and a young mother. As each story unfolds, the darkest of secrets are unveiled by these characters. There are no special effects or grand sets. The staging is kept very simple. This allows the focus to remain on the actors, who take on the difficult task of bringing each story to life, simply and honestly. None do this better than Jen Brown, whose performance in the final monologue is captivatingly subtle and cinematic. The audience’s eyes remain glued to her from beginning to end. Note: Try to sit near the front & be aware herbal cigarettes are smoked.

The actors and directors of Bash have brought subtlety and depth into these short plays. Jen Brown in particular offers us a rich, living, beautiful and pathetic creature. Having seen Ms. Brown in other plays, I was additionally impressed at how completely different this character was from her previous roles. She also has the advantage of having (in my opinion) the best script to work with. I've seen these plays before and unfortunately, they are not nearly as surprising the second time around. Even after the first play, the audience gets a strong sense of the nature of these plays. Bad things will be revealed. I wish something in this production had fought against that sense of the inevitable. If you’re expecting to be “shocked”, how you actually be? Make me believe that something different is going to happen and then let my heart really break when it doesn’t. If you're a fan of Neil LaBute, you better buy your tickets now! If you’re not, then go for the performances.

The vestige group has succeeded in achieving what all theatre companies aspire to do: leave the audience profoundly affected by what they have witnessed. The directors know the unsettling and disturbing power that the plays they are working with provoke, and they use that power to heightened advantage, from the uncomfortably intimate staging to the unwavering eye contact made by the actors with select audience members. Neil LaBute's work is polarizing--each of the three plays sets up a cliched scenario reminiscent of a Lifetime special, and then just as the audience begins to lose interest, the character begins a descent down a twisted path that leaves the spectator unable to do anything but wait in breathless anticipation for what the actor will say next. Directorial and acting choices that seemed inappropriate at first suddenly make perfect sense. This is a production theater lovers will relish--honest, nuanced acting, strong direction, and emotionally charged audience reaction.

First: I often despise Neil LaBute. The ideas he
executes often leave me cold. His name carries a
certain connotation, and that is evident in this
work. However, here he reaches for, and (especially
in the final scene) achieves, an unsettling pain that
is more subtle and nuanced than in his other work.
Directors Susie Gidseg and Bastion Carboni elicit
strong performances from four great actors (with a
standout performance by Jen Brown in the final
piece), and make the most of a sparse, incredibly
small set. The space at 701 Tillery is tiny - 25 seats
or so - and that benefits the production. Here,
intimacy is wonderfully uncomfortable. There's no
flash or glitter here, just ideas - and the Vestige
company carry this work off well. See this.

Wow! If you like to see plays about "happily ever after" then this is not the play for you. But if you believe in live theatre and your taste runs a little (or a lot) darker and deeper, this production will remind you why you believe. It is intimate, gut-wrenching, tender, horrible, powerful, and thought-provoking. There's nothing cheerful here (the third part is Medea Redux, so what would you expect) but you'll be richer for having seen it.
The other reviews correctly praise the performances of all the actors, especially Jen Brown.
On a personal note, I drove from Houston to see this play, knowing nothing of the company and not having seen any reviews. The delivery of the opening sentence let me know it was worth it. By the time the plays had finished it was clear this had been a highlight of a long journey. Even seeing only the third play (Medea Redux) would have justified a drive from much further away than Houston. "Bash" has gotten under my skin and it won't let go

3 separate acts of powerful,evolving stories:I'm happy I did not know what to expect other than a dark drama.Well written acts and the sparse, darkly enclosed set put the focus on the excellent acting of this cast(finely directed by Susie Gidseg and Bastion Carboni). The actors deliver gripping monologues of heartbreaking to chilling tales with nuanced characterizations, all nervous mannerisms and energy, halting speech, fleeting or intense eye contact. Aaron Black engages in eye contact with mostly one audience member(me)as the chosen one for his revelation. This touch definitely pulled me and likely the rest of the audience into his story. Jen Brown gave another rapt, tragic account. The 2 actors of the 2nd act recounted intertwining stories effectively. The actors were able to portray the haunted lives that resulted from acts of hate or fear (tinged with selfishness). This is memorable work. Congratulations to all.Here's to 5 more years & the 10th Anniversary for the Vestige Group.

Want to feel like fly on the wall of a confessional? These three plays lay bare the souls of three people who make choices among the seven deadlies seemingly by accident, but are revealed in bits and pieces to actually be deliberate. The actors are up to the challenge of the script and deliver strong performances. The simplicity of the set and parsimony of movement leave all energy funnelling into each character's personality. Those watching are drawn into the intrigue and angst that is produced by good people turned bad (or are they good?--it's not that easy to feel sympathy after the stories unravel). There is enough left out of the picture to make one think, question, and wonder. Kudos to Vestige Group--good job!

Congrats to Vestige Group for embracing (again) the raw power of Neil LaBute. Bash: Three Plays is great monologue theatre drawing upon Greek myth and LaBute’s Mormon background. What’s in the mind of a perpetrator or makes them cross the line? In Iphigenia in Orem, Aaron Black finesses that line deftly, sharing his secret with subtlety and finesse. In Gaggle of Saints, Helyn Rain Messenger and Hunter Smith capture the sinister denial of carefree youth with aplomb – “bashing” as (double entendre) sport. And Jen Brown, wow, Jen Brown, does the young mother in Medea Redux with a jagged broken edge that makes you squirm along. Kudos to Directors Susie Gidseg and Bastion Carboni. Bash: Three plays works well as an ensemble message. This is tough stuff, as Labute has said: he is the “ultimate bad party guest” to a belief in human goodness and redemption. But an examination of unthinking, casual cruelty – a world out of balance “deserves to be told again, …fair enough?” Go see it.
