Legoland Review The Star, Toronto (Highly Recommended)
|
Legoland is the real world outside of the hippie colony where teenager Penny Lamb and her younger brother Ezra were raised until their exploits at a local Wal-Mart busted a secret grow-op. This sent their parents off to jail and the siblings to a strict Catholic boarding school. Their subsequent cross-border adventures – narrated by Penny as an act of penance while accompanied by Ezra – is warm, funny and unexpectedly poignant. |
Decked out in their school uniforms, Celine Stubel and Amitai Marmorstein play Penny and Ezra to near perfection as two misfits who need each other to make sense of an unkind world. Kudos to playwright/director Jacob Richmond for a story that is powerfully witty, moving and wise. |
