From the moment I risked my fillings with authentic salt-water taffy from the "cigarette girl" at the Mead Theater Lab at Flashpoint, 916 G Street N.W., Low Tide Hotel carried me back to shoreside boardwalks and the tang of the beach.
Mark Jaster (left), Scott Sedar and Sabrina Mandell presented songs, poems and text ranging from" Sir Patrick Spens" to "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean."
Throughout, clever props and the effective lighting of Justin Thomas kept the show moving with the grace of a schooner under sail. Below, Moby Dick.
We were visited by a comely mermaid . . .
. . . snd serenaded by a musical saw.
When the show ended, all too soon, it took a moment for me to reluctantly return to summer on the city streets.

Cheers.
