Chuck. Chuck. Chuck. is a jolting introduction to William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying. Immediate Medium takes full advantage of the 1930 novel's escalating shock value in this dramatization of the Bundren family's journey to bury matriarch Addie. Faulkner's beautifully constructed and interconnected monologues are spoken, read, recorded, projected, and scattered across the stage. Director JJ Lin skillfully divides the action between the dirt and dust of the Bundrens' macabre trek across Mississippi and a raised platform of disapproving sing-song townsfolk. The dance interludes from choreographer Liz Vacco (who also plays kid brother Vardaman) serve as symbolic road signs that this family is connected by grief, but not much else.
