LOADED, BY SCOTT CAPURRO
Unusual take on the agonies-of-Iove story O...
Even at the Fringe, that hotbed of controversy and tastelessness, you have to admire Scott Capurro‘s gall. Within moments of opening Loaded, he tells of his irrepressible lust for lan Huntley, the convicted killer of two young girls in Cambridgeshire, whose case was blasted across Britain’s consciousness in the last 18 months.
It is an edgy start, but one which sets well the tone for the show, in which Capurro goes further into why it is we often fall for the bad guys. Through a (presumably) fictitious correspondence with double murderer Eric Menendez, who with his brother killed his abusive father as well as their mother in the late 19805, Capurro plays out a story of love and obsession, and wonders if falling for a convicted killer is ‘my ultimate attempt to avoid intimacy’.
In a darker than ‘normal‘ obsessive fan tale, Capurro explores the role he plays in Menendez‘ life, as an outside contact with the rest of the world, as well as constructing his own prison sex fantasies. With his trademark waspish humour and self-effacing campery, Capurro spins a fascinating web which never delves deep enough into true analysis, but still reaches a conclusion which poses even greater Freudian questions over the issue of who we fall in love with, and why.
Doubtlessly in bad taste at times, this two-man story of one-way love is fresh and confidently performed, and well enough constructed to provide the requisite laughs as well as the welcome ‘afterthought' factor, lacking in many Fringe shows. (Gareth Davies)
