Summary: Poet and the Rent
Comment: This play is a lot of fun. It was written for adults to perform for kids, so alot of the humor can be funnier to parents than to their kids. But what good kids' show doesn't add a little subtle adult humor a la Muppet Show variety?

Mamet's wit shines through such characters as Kodiak Prince, The Wonder Dog, who is the canine sidekick of Sargent Preston. This character's entire vocabulary consists of various forms of barking. Not to mention Mamet's integration of slapstick as just about every character in the show manages to throw a cream pie at Auntie Georgie.

"Poet" contains plenty of running gags, interesting characters, strange plot twist. It is a wonderful play. It a much more fun to see it being performed than to sit and read it. What good play isn't?

I would recommend it for a group of kids looking for a challenge or a group of adults just looking for some fun.
