There is no forgetting the second Main-Stage production: “Fuddy Meers” by David Lindsay-Abaire.Claire has a rare form of amnesia that erases her memory when she sleeps, leaving her husband to explain her condition over and over again. But then, a limping, lisping, half-blind, half-deaf man appears and claims to be her brother, there to save her. Claire is hustled off to the home of her mother, a recent stroke victim whose speech has been reduced to utter gibberish. To complicate matters further, a dimwitted thug with a foul-mouthed hand puppet, Claire’s husband, her perpetually stoned son, and a claustrophobic female cop are thrown into the mix. Each twist brings Claire closer to discovering her past, while surrounded by alarmingly bizarre characters.
