I can even picture a particularly unruly audience member being offered up as bait for the bear. And the rest of the crowd enjoyed it. But I've always been bothered by the idea of embarrassing one audience member to bring laughs from the rest. Think Cinderella . This is a broad, low-comedy edition that spans centuries and genders.
Women play men, men play women and just about anything goes.
And there's audience participation. Much is friendly fire. The crowd is egged on to boo the baddies and cheer the heroes. All this is great. The people filling the seats can decide on their own whether or not to take part, or just how far they'll go.
