The Secretaries – Do As I Say, Do As I Do (Fringe Festival 2010)
by Karen Tortora-Lee on August 27, 2010
Boy, do I remember what it was like to be the new gal around the office – to not have the routine down yet, to get sneered at for ordering from wrong place for lunch (“We don’t use them ever since the egg salad incident . . . but that was before your time”) or to be thought of as stuck up for taking lunch alone in the park . . . or (even worse) not taking a cigarette break with the other girls from the admin pool. One false step and you’re branded some sort of outcast who thinks she’s better than everyone else. Offices can be tough, and a Clique of Secretaries who treat the office like High School all over again can be murder. And in this new production of The Five Lesbian Brothers’ 1994 dark comedy The Secretaries (directed by Mark Finley) Murder is exactly what it is.
