San Francisco Bay Area Theater Reviews

“Lightning in the Brain”

June 4, 2016 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

Lightning in the Brain
Corey Fischer (Writer, Composer, Performer)
The Marsh
Corey Fischer
When spending time as a young man in New York, Corey Fischer says it was like “walking through layers of history that were sliced as thin as pastrami.”  While his new work, Lightning in the Brain — now at The Marsh in San Francisco — is a pleasant, harmless hour of hearing this delightful man of the arts run through some life highlights, maybe he has sliced the history into too fine to make the evening as meaningful and memorable as it might have been otherwise.
Rating: 3 E
