Though this young theater company (which defines itself as a "devised-theater collective") based this performance on Michael Ondaatje's "Collected Works of Billy the Kid," somewhere along the way it lost a sense of focus. The overplayed performances made the characters seem like carnival freak show attractions. Was there a story in there somewhere? I don't know... the onstage antics made it all undecipherable. One plus, though: The stage imagery was haunting, thanks to the lighting tricks and set design by Simon Harding, who evoked the Wild West with a gritty loneliness.
