Just in time for this ghoulish holiday season is the thrilling, chilling,
thought-provoking drama at the Players By the Sea - “Pontypool”. If
you came to the opening night production, you would have been able to meet the
artist of the wall decor, Mr. Drew Edward Hunter. Hunter is also the voice of the greeter at the
entrance door, that is a prop from the Sally Corporation that produces “The Walking Dead”.
Pontypool looks at the psychological concept of flight vs. fright. This play is an adaptation of Pontypool Changes Everything, a book and film by Tony Burgess. His stage play is now being edited for this production to include local Jacksonville factors by Kelby Siddons. The production in the Studio Theatre aims to be a truly immersive event — the production team is partnering up with folks from Sally Corporation to create an experience that draws from dark side concepts.
The production of “Pontypool”, by the Players By the Sea, is so well done and befitting the work of any professional off-Broadway show. This cast really gets physically involved with their roles. There are a lot of words thrown around, and you’ll hear some colorful dialogue. There is blood and murder, but you won’t wonder ‘who-done-it’. This show is NOT recommended for children.
Want to wear a costume? Come on - I dare you. A ghoul will be waiting to greet you in the foyer. Beware of sitting on the front row, you may get a little wet in the intimate side theatre (unlike the show participants of comedian Gallagher). Get your tickets today and note the change in the usual days that this presentation will be on stage.
More about Players By The Sea: The theater is quaint, comfortable and seats 150 people (the smaller side theatre seats less). The restrooms are very clean and modern. Entrance to the theatre is well-lite and parking is sufficient and close to the building. The reception area has tall tables and is decorated with local art work. For your pleasure there is a bar that offers beer, wine, soda and water for purchase. On Gala night (the opening night for each show), Players offers their patrons some delicious finger foods served by 927 Catering& Events. The food tastes impeccably delicious and is very creatively presented.
