Wild Horse Nine at the Prospector Theater

Two CIA men, one errand neither of them trusts, and Easter Island at the end of it.

Martin McDonagh sends Sam Rockwell and John Malkovich from Santiago to Easter Island as agents on a mission that tests whether either one can trust the other, set in the run up to the 1973 coup in Chile. Steve Buscemi, Parker Posey, Tom Waits and Mariana Di Girolamo round out a cast that reads like a wish list. Deadline called Malkovich and Rockwell simply superb. It runs an hour and 58 minutes.

Variety called it “laugh out loud funny, brilliant and moving” and said to see it with an audience, which is about the best argument there is for catching it here instead of at home.

Heads up on the R rating. Rated R for pervasive language, some strong violence, drug use and sexual references. Anyone under 17 needs a parent or adult 21 or older to give permission in person at the Prospector box office.

Good to know. Tickets are $15 for adults and $13 for kids 11 and under. The theater suggests arriving 30 minutes early to grab concessions and good seats.

Every ticket does some good. The Prospector is a nonprofit theater built to employ adults with disabilities, who the theater calls Prospects. They greet you and seat you before every show. Closed caption devices and descriptive audio headsets are available at every first-run show.

Make a night of it. The Heads Up Café inside the theater pours coffee, beer and wine, and the ceiling is covered in pennies hand-placed heads up by the Prospects. Downtown Ridgefield's Main Street restaurants are a short walk away.
