I’d recommend An Improv Odyssey for anyone with an inner sci-fi geek who would enjoy a little free eccentricity, courtesy of the Fringe. The structure of this production is the director of a sci-fi film trying to remember what happened in the film she made years ago. So the audience fill in the gaps, things like the planets to visit, the mission the spacecraft is on, the space-villain. The results were utterly bizarre but very entertaining from the cast of Cambridge Impronauts, who were incredibly quick on their feet.
Lacking a set that would be as flexible as their improvising imaginations, each scene would begin with each member painting part of the set for your imagination - a stack of Disney DVDs, a coat hanger made of hairs from kiwis, the mast of the ISS Tinkerbell. The team worked well to entertain each of the ideas they came up with, as if they had somehow planned it beforehand. Watching this whole production is like going to the gym and giving your imagination a work-out. The plot changed and contradicted itself very much like a dream, the cast like weird helpers in your subconscious to entertain the side of you that wants to go on an inter-galactic adventure.
