No, seriously, sorry about that, got so preoccupied with the Macbeth stuff my brain substituted the two. I had the teacher shove the student into a closet, M-cbeth was on the brain.
But yeah, I've always been kind of curious about one man shows, because you don't have other actors to feed off of, and since it's just you up there it could easily devolve into parody as you said. I thought it was cool the way you used subtle things to differentiate the characters, especially the fathers ghost. I'm just sort of fascinated because I figured out pretty early acting was not for me, even in a full cast vein, and a one man show seems completely terrifying!
And how could Keith not believe in curses? Look how he can't get rid of Danny Lobel or Matt from the Jamhole... I'm thinking Little Baby Faggot was a powerful gypsy.
