Roost

A cheery, overly positive in-home nurse takes on more than she can handle when meeting her new client: a foul-mouthed, demanding and manipulative patient with a bad knee. As the play, and their relationship, take twisted dark turns, the story intentionally starts to spiral in on itself, turning into a meta character study that delightfully examines the tropes and conventional devices used by the great dark, comedic playwrights of our time. Vibrant writing that wears its heart on its sleeve without turning sentimental. Bold creative choices with the script and a fierce performance from Vogt make this play an absolute delight.... full review

A beautiful, vulnerable exploration into the fascinating and intriguing mind of the author(s) that has you hooked at every single turn, of which there are many and none that you can predict! A must-see for every single person attending Fringe. I feel sorry for anyone who misses it.... full review

So much fun, and thought provoking. I laughed the whole time, and walked away reflecting on my own ideas of what it means to be an artist. I’m excited to recommend this play to all my creative friends!... full review

Wow! I was not expecting this! Fun twists and turns and not the ones you think you're expecting. The premise was fun, and comparisons to Pirandello come to mind when your view of the piece is shifted, scene by scene. Uproariously funny, and one of the best shows I've seen so far in the Fringe. The mother-daughter relationship of a creative and their parent is very relatable. Even the most supportive parent can unintentionally derail the creative process. ... full review

ROOST is hilarious, fresh and engaging. ... full review

This play was wickedly fun and sharp! You'll be laughing out loud from the get-go. You THINK you know where it's going, but it takes a twist here and then another twist there. Loved the interplay between these two dynamic and super talented ladies. We brought a friend visiting from Vienna, and she was howling with laughter. I really am going to try and see it again. It's that good. Hubby and I are still laughing and quoting dialogue from the play. Now I shall have a yogurt cup. Peach...with CHUNKS. IYKYK. :-)... full review

I was able to get a last minute ticket to this show and I'm so glad I did! I knew nothing about it, but "Roost" was an absolutely hilarious, beautifully meta look into a playwright's mind. ... full review
