THEATER REVIEW- Mouse

Paul Trussel is the extremely talented actor starring in his own one-man show, "Mouse."

The character is a unassuming megalomaniac, in other words an IT professional (think Steve Buscemi and Dwight Schrute) named Procter, who confirms our worst fears about the know-it-alls who not-so-humbly smooth out our computer glitches. For some time now, Procter has been quietly and systematically intercepting e-mail correspondences between a loathed co-worker, Wayne, and his own object of obsessive desire, the woman in the green dress.

Now, with life-and-death hanging in the balance, Procter must decide how to use his moment center-stage.

Trussel is a master storyteller and his elastic expressions capture every delightfully neurotic twist of this unconventional black comedy.
