This production was a fast paced and outrageous comedy where B-Movies, Beach Party Epics and Hitchcock psychological thrillers are given a shotgun marriage. It was a spoof of early '60s surfing movies which dismantles the mystery of the age, while letting us enjoy our nostalgia for it. Innocent, demure and hairy, teenager Chicklet desperately yearns to be part of the Malibu Beach “surf crowd”. Her luck is in when the great Kanaka the undisputed king of the beach agrees to try her out. But the one thing he didn’t bargain for is her unfortunate tendency towards split personalities, including an elderly talk show hostess, a male model named Steve and the entire accountancy firm of Edelman and Edelman. Her most dangerous alter ego is a sexually voracious vixen named Ann Bowman who has nothing less than world domination on her mind. This play gleefully defies logic as it subverts clean-cut Hollywood stereotypes. Charles.
