Pinter meets Tennessee Williams meets Mad Max. This is a fun and twisted allegory on the perils of Darwinian survival in a post-apocalyptic world. Joanna Rose Bateman is wonderful as the innocence lost Alice. Bruce A. Lemon Jr. gives a solid performance as the rough around the edges but tragically faithful Cliff. And Bethany Esfandiari's performance as ruthless survivor Preacher is strong. Corwin Evan's imaginative reimagining of the plants in the form of string lights adds a playful and oth... full review

I dislike that the only 3 options for rating Fringe shows is loved it, liked it, or not my thing because unfortunately, none of these really hit the mark for what this show was for me. I'm going to go with Liked it because it's the half way mark and it wasn't all bad. But I didn't really 'like it' in truth. It was okay. I think that this show really had the potential to be an amazing piece of theater. The script is great, the cast has a notable body of work behind them, and the stakes are hi... full review

This was a sweet show with a lot of heart. Jeffrey Wylie fully embodies Lyla with genteel southern charm, grace, and verve.

The only way to get away with a show with this much nudity and simulated sex is to do it extremely well: for the performances to have heart and vulnerability in the midst of the nakedness, for the direction to be tight, for the script to be provocative and stimulating beyond the obvious. Unfortunately, this just wasn't the case. I had fun watching the spectacle for a bit, but at the end of the day, I go to the theater to be nourished and challenged, or at least entertained, and unfortunately B... full review

Hot Damn! This show is comic genius. The two actors play beautifully off of each other and are each so wholeheartedly committed to their characters. Adam Carpenter as Martin Almond, the tax agent, is wonderfully repressed and Zack Steel as TR Hamer embodies excess in all of its disgusting glory. As the rough plot structure of the tax seminar disintegrates, the laughter goes from a steady build to side-splitting guffaws from the audience. Don't miss this magic. ... full review
