Mediocrity by Anton Robert Krueger

A Comedy Play by Anton Robert Krueger. Our 2008 Entry into the Duncan Rand One Act Play Festival in Rochester.

This comedy borrows elements from both the Commedia Del' Arte and Burlesque traditions to send up doctors, wives, brutality and death. Kenaf has just learnt that he's about to die and his life changes dramatically as he finally stands up to his domineering Wife, the bullying Brute and the condescending Doctor.

As it turns out, there has been a mistake on the part of the doctor, but, Kenaf will never be the same.

The setting for this piece, takes place beyond the realms of realism.

Won two awards for Alternate Shadows: Character Award (Chris Brake as Kenaf) and a Certificate of Merit for Sophia Harding as The Narrator.
Also, two nominations: Adjudicator's Award for Costume; Outstanding Actress in a Supporting Role (Sophia Harding as The Narrator).
