| Oh, the angst: The Flower Shop Project's "River of Passion" |
Meanwhile Gunnar Magnusson (Ernest Briggs) is running for governor of Minnesota. Standing in his way is Paddy O'Sullivan (Alan Wales), who also plans to take down Magusson Enterprises with assistance from Magnus's wife, for whom Ashe carries a smoldering torch.
Juicy, improbable, compelling stuff, in other words. The cast plays this one as straight as their TV counterparts, although in the audience you'll be moved to laughter with regularity. Played as over-the-top as its inspirations, River has all the hallmarks of a great, goofy, cheesy pleasure.
River of Passion runs every Friday night at the BLB at 7:00 p.m. until July 30. For tickets call 612.825.8949 or click here.
