StageWest - The Explorer's Club

With 3 chums,the Travelling Toe recently attended a Sunday afternoon performance of Nell Benjamin's madcap comedy, "The Explorers Club" at Stage West, in Fort Worth.    The play centers on a snobbish club in London for "male" explorers to gather, drink, smoke smelly cigars and  exchange stories (or lies) without the companionship of the fairer sex.  When a female explorer is presented as a prospective member, the fun commences.   With a many a mistake of who is who, the play takes a few turns and twists.  The acting at Stage West is always excellent and they can perform serious thought provoking plays as well as drawing room comedy - as in this one.   The Travelling Toe must give kudos to the set designer, Clare Floyd De Vries.  She created a true English club atmosphere in the heart of Cowtown that would rival any real decor overseas.  Excellent work Clare!

Stage West is a local community theater and is always worth the price of the ticket.   The Travelling Toe has never been disappointed with any performance seen there.
