Fred Written by Christopher Ford and Dakota Rose Directed by Dakota Rose Presented by On the Rocks Theatre Company at Dixon Place, NYC March 17-April 1, 2017
Dixon Place is a reliable venue for offbeat theater. If you're looking for, say, an earnest examination of twentysomethings trying to make it in the city, then it's probably best to look elsewhere.

The latest of these unconventional offerings is Fred, a buoyant new comedy by Christopher Ford and Dakota Rose, creators of the recent The White Stag Quadrilogy.
Fred (Derek Smith) is a robot who began life as a pool vacuum and now spends his time keeping his inventor's widow, Diana (Shannon Holt), alive in a medically-induced coma since a long-ago stroke. Fred has decided to move with Diana from their home in Phoenix,...
