Brilliant show, brilliant performer. Incredible subject matter. ... full review

Good tight script, good tight acting, simple but effective direction. All of it good. No complaints. I was entertained from beginning to end. I somehow wanted more though. I'm not sure what, but I wanted more. There was some minor inconsistency in the writing as far as character goes. But nothing jarring. I think I wanted to learn something or to get some insight into these ladies. But that's probably my fault not the play's. The play is what the play is not what I want it to be. And what it is... full review

This review won't do any good, as I saw this production on closing night. But it was perfect. Brilliant script, wonderful performances, all around. Great direction and a chilling frustrating story that made me want to get out of my seat and intervene in the events that were going off the rails and nobody could do anything but watch it happen. Beautifully compelling theater.... full review

I have given this show a positive review. But for one reason and one reason only: Kelsie Noel Hill. Kelsie play The Woman, a modern woman who plays in a story that plays concurrently with the other story in this play which is Salome's. I'll get to that trainwreck in a minute, but Kelsie's woman is captivating, taking lessons from Salome and explaining them in a modern context and she has many parts to play as if she's at times embodying every woman ever, she whispers into the ears of the other c... full review

A show built for the Fringe. It's fun, and worth seeing just for Laura Sperrazza. All of the faults this play has, and there aren't many, are all covered up by the inventive script. It is designed for the Fringe. So when the mics aren't loud enough, or taped onto the actors' faces correctly, or the band is playing too loud because they don't have proper monitors, it's all part of the show! It's supposed to be like that! a kind of genius way to hide the flaws you know you're going to have (10 minu... full review

Best of the Fringe. Really. Go see this amazing, funny, touching, beautiful piece of theater. So so good. Great even. This is great theater. I've seen over 20 Fringe shows and this is so far and above most everything else out there. When you go to a Fringe show you expect to see a new thing somebody is trying out. This on the other hand is a fully realized play. Complete script that looks to have been extensively workshopped, a wonderful cast, highlighted by the amazing Brendan Hunt who is har... full review

This is a wonderful new play. I have seen A LOT of shows this Fringe and most a pretty terrible, but this is a real play with real characters who learn and grow and we feel for them. Peppur Chambers is a great writer and she shows off with this piece. The acting is overall pretty wonderful, especially Nicole Adelman and Michael Hampton who play the leads Jayne and Dick. The work Michael does on Dick is worth going to the theater for all by itself. He creates a strange, socially awkward, introver... full review

OK. This show is wildly uneven. Some of the acting is below average, a couple are fine. One (Raissa Eckmann Peniche) is wonderful. The actors are Brazilian and doing the play in English is obviously difficult for some, so I'm giving them some slack on performance. The show feels like it's trying to shock rather than trying to tell the story honestly. Some of the actors escape from the forced-shock-value nature of the show and deliver convincing performances, but that doesn't make up for the clunk... full review

This is a smart show. It's brilliantly framed and all of the actors are on stage the whole time, when they're not being used, they're lined up against the back wall plugged into their phones. Except for the one character who only has a flip phone and doesn't know what a hashtag or instagram or twitter is. In fact, for most of the play he's in the back with the others, except he's reading a book. And I don't think it's an accident that his chair is actually a stool, and he's higher than the rest ... full review

Compelling, well acted, well designed, well thought out piece of theater. It gets better the longer it goes on. There is a moment where three things are going on at once, and each is terribly interesting and you have to divide your attention, and it's amazing. I have a few complaints, but it's mostly just my tastes, I wish the play had gone further. The play went pretty far out into surrealism, but once you've gotten on that train, I want to go to the last stop. It has a clear consistent message ... full review
