Unlike those of us merely amused by Laughing Sal -- the maniacal, cackling, mechanical puttet behind glass at the Musee Mechanique - director Sarah Ells is obsessed. Through Sal's smiling squint Ells found the secrets buried under Playland at the Beach, and she realized the horrors behind the cackle. Follow Ells and co-obsessive Roberto Gutierrez Varea back through time as they travel with a mechanical circus from a penny arcade., driven to murder and anarchy by the spirit of Laughing Sal. Sal opens at the EXIT Theatre on Thursday, July 9, at 8p.m. Tickets are $12; call 242-5797.
