The narrator of a story dutifully chronicles the meeting of a couple in a small cafe in Paris, France, only to start losing control of his characters once they realize he exists. Blending the lines between fiction and truth, this hilarious play examines what should triumph: reality, or a good story.
Set: Two cafe tables, three to four chairs."...the work is brilliant and comical... puts a funny and sometimes creepy twist on the art of storytelling."
"This 30-minute show is brief, but oozes quality."
"Welch's setups and unhinged denouements require directors... to commit to either playing it straight or playing to the rafters."
"A clever playlet that combines dramatic self-consciousness and romantic menace..."
"...a twisted comedy that questions reality..."
"...a delightful game with theatrical reality..."
"...gleefully leveled the [fourth] wall..."
"...reality and fiction intertwine in amusing -- now and then hilarious -- fashion."
"...cheerfully smashes the convention of the invisible wall between onstage narrator and the characters in the drama."
"Sean Michael Welch's 'Boise, Idaho,' is so delicious that it sets perhaps too high a standard for the others to live up to... A mixture of Pirandello and 'Seinfeld,' 'Boise, Idaho' almost seems to taunt the whole endeavor of storytelling, and Welch displays, along with his provocative imagination, an unbridled willingness to let real people behave ridiculously."
"A uniquely crafted story is that of Boise, Idaho, written by Sean Michael Welch."
