Shaggy Duck Story
It’s not every weekend I see a ballet-horror-comedy about killer ducks that “skeletonize” unsuspecting theater geeks and impregnate humans with spores that cause ducks to burst forth from their asses in a spray of blood and intestines. You might think it would be, because that sounds pretty solidly up my alley, but in fact no. Duck Lake, now playing at the Jewish Theatre under the auspices of PianoFight, bills itself as “probably the world’s first ballet-horror-comedy,” and seeing as how I can’t think of any examples to contradict that, I’ll go along with it.
