Suicide Live

jeffrey wienckowski · June 06, 2016 certified reviewer
From the hysterical opening scene involving a shotgun and a selfie-stick "Suicide Live" grabs you by the jugular and doesn't let go. This play is very dark, very funny and (surprisingly) genuinely moving. It's a perfect Fringe show, but not for the feint of heart!... full review

Gimplecapped: A Journey of "Inspiration"

jeffrey wienckowski · June 17, 2014 certified reviewer
Irreverent, brutally honest and HYSTERICAL! Gimplecapped is so brilliantly written and nimbly performed with such ease and grace that you are never hit over the head with a "Message" but leave feeling better for watching the show.

I can say nothing but good things... full review

The Pokemusical

Dystopian Amusement Parks, Exhibitionism and Bleeding Hearts! What's not to love? "Awkward Pauses" is a very smartly written collection of One-Acts that deal with failed attempts at social interaction, creating the awkward pauses of the play's title. It is a funny, smart and moving night at the theatre that I highly recommend. ... full review

Cleaner Than Blood

jeffrey wienckowski · June 11, 2013 certified reviewer
"Cleaner Than Blood" is an incredibly taut psychological thriller filled with plot twists that kept me riveted until the end. All three actors turn in extremely powerful performances filled with subtle nuances that had me on the edge of my seat. Director Alex Scott consistently builds the tension while still allowing room for Jen Silverman's fascinating story to unfold and her characters to fully develop. I highly recommend this very dark and compelling drama. The performance alone will ma... full review
