My overall impression
I’m surprised at the tone of these reviews. First of all, who critically reviews a show based on its first preview/invited dress rehearsal? And, more importantly, I thought the whole point of a “Fringe” festival is that the work presented is being developed outside the mainstream (hence, on the “fringe”). The writing, directing, choreography and acting were all focused, creative, earnest and clearly a labor of love — of the piece, of the work and of theater in general. I saw a reading of this years ago, and it’s been a fascinating development process. Seriously, the whole point of an event like this is to take risks, try something new, focus on the process and to make art.
Anyone who writes an anonymous review running down this kind of process clearly doesn’t risk putting him or herself out there like these artists did. All involved should be proud of themselves for their involvement in the show and in the process. If all the shows in the Fringe have this kind of heart and dedication, the Festival will be a huge success.
