What I liked

An astoundingly powerful and talented cast takes on a violent, gore-filled script by ancient Roman playwright and philosopher Seneca — in this case a particularly tragic story within the broader legends of Hercules. Staged with primitive music, dance, and ritualistic movement by Translator and Director Christopher Johnson, it’s an evening of pure theatre – and the show to see if you’re interested in watching some of the very best actors in the Fringe this year.

What I didn't like

There’s nothing I didn’t like — I promise you there’s nothing else like this in the LA Fringe this year.

My overall impression

Theatre at its most raw and fundamental
