“Dido of Idaho,” an offbeat comedy by Abby Rosebrock at the Echo Theater Company, takes a shockingly dark turn. There are other surprises in store for the audience, but the violence that occurs midway through the play is all the more intense for the outré humor that precedes and follows this unexpected atrocity. At the center of the story is Nora , a 32-year-old untenured musicologist with self-esteem issues and a drinking problem.
Rosebrock writes with the strange logic of dreams. Emotionally, the action of “Dido of Idaho” rings true even when plot points seem outlandish. But to give a sense of the whiplash induced by the play, one minute cookies are being baked while rum and coke is served, the next a manicure set transforms the women's bonding session into a scene of Roman tragedy horror.
