DQ Blues
Theatre Maketa
In this one-man show, Nick Kidd plays Navy chef Harris with all the
swagger, passion and eagerness-to-please that we expect from a new
recruit. He tells the tale of how he ended up in solitary
confinement after assaulting a superior officer, and his conflicted
ambivalence towards military discipline (or is it sadism?) gives us
insight into the Navy at large. Still, as he details why he signed
up, and how he felt his first day, and what his room looked like,
and how he got his tattoo-you start to get the gnawing sense that
he's telling you more that you ever cared to know. But for the
acting alone, Blues is well worth a watch.
