Review of Kasper Hauser: Phone Call to the 14th Century


Wow, this is funny. I've found it difficult to find sketch-comedy on public radio that really makes me laugh, but this piece did it. You wouldn't describe this piece as "subtle", but its strength lies in the seemingly throw-away nature of some of the lines. And, of course, the idea itself is a great place to start. This piece strikes the right tone and rhythm, and -- as another reviewer mentioned -- the length fits the content.
