LOS ANGELES, CA - Writer and performer Jaston Williams has one of those deep and smooth Texan accents that sounds like Hank Hill and bourbon. Well known for the loveable characters he plays in his award winning Greater Tuna trilogy, Williams' autobiographical show
And I'm Not Lying paints a picture of growing up on a dust
worn Texas farm. More than a half dozen comedic vignettes capture seemingly arbitrary, yet pivotal moments of his development from ornery
whipper-snapper to disturbingly blase drug addict. In combination with these and other snapshots of an unbelievable upbringing, it's not a big surprise when Williams emerges at the top of the second act in a chicken suit and shares tales of acid trips and debauchery in the 60's. The audience is walked through one of his foggy recollections of attending a renaissance fair that seems more like a fun house gone askew. Among other strangeness he encounters a Linda Ronstadt look-a-like who impassionedly calls to her sisters "Women, you are the future of tomorrow." |
