"Carol Triffle's recent output has caught me off-guard: a tetralogy of not-easily classifiable stage works that aren't quite musical satires or absurdist comedies, either."
"The most effective term is probably 'Camp,' which I approach with both reverence and discomfort, appreciating the nuanced sensibility that converts the serious into the frivolous."
"To label Triffle's recent plays as 'frivolous' shortchanges her sociological insight, as they evoke both laughter and deeper contemplation."
Carol Triffle has produced a tetralogy of unique stage works post-pandemic, including Where's Bruno? and Mission Gibbons. These pieces defy traditional genres, blending musical satire and absurdist comedy. The term 'Camp' effectively describes her style, characterized by exaggerated performances and nuanced sensibility. Triffle's works evoke laughter and contemplation, challenging audiences to engage with deeper sociological themes rather than simply viewing them as frivolous entertainment. Her ability to surprise and delight continues to resonate with fans and theatergoers alike.
