An incredibly understated, subtle, and moving performance. Kenyon embodies these three sisters so completely, that you barely see a shift between them, if at all.
I found myself being brought to tears, as well as laughter multiple times. And what a fun story! ...

Such a brave piece that every woman of every age can identify with.
While I would have liked more character work in her flashbacks, the three distinct parts of Curran are entertaining & distinct and carry the show nicely. ...

Such a brave, bold show.
Jones telling of his constant struggle with PTSD & BiPolar Disorder really makes you sit back & reflect long after you have left the theatre. Thank you for bringing us all in & sharing your pain. You made US the the "Lucky" ones -- just to know you. ...

TEN SECONDS is all it took for my jaw to drop. I was in awe & completely captivated by Gonzalez' voice & how he moved these "Human Puppets." And it just got better! WOW!
Funny. Having met Gonzalez & Johnides, they both came across very soft spoken, but Annabella is nothing of the sort. THIS is a Powerhouse!
Epic & haunting. The story -- the elocution -- the choreography -- the performances -- the voices -- I can't say enough about how AMAZING this show is. Fringe is only the beginning for this ...

Deliciously Dark & SOOOO much fun!
With a Tarantino-like flavor, Benjamin Schwartz' dialogue is wonderfully crisp & smart -- brimming with detail. Paired with a strong cast of seedy characters who you never want to run into -- this is a night of theatre you don't want to miss! SEE IT!! ...

BRILLIANT!
Such a hidden gem in this festival, but truly NEEDS to be seen! The performances are so tight -- the writing is impeccable & sooo wonderfully nuanced -- & the directing? Just WOW!
This is a show I would pay serious money to see at the Ahmanson or on Broadway! ...

Love LOve LOVED IT!!!
Twas a breath of fresh Shakepearean air. YAY!
Let me start out by saying that I am very picky w/my Shakespeare. And Romeo & Juliet has NEVER been one of my favorites. The young lovers always come across so whiney -- but NOT here! THANK YOU!
Performing the Bard since I was 6 & diving into his works as soon as I was old enough to read-- tis very hard to find a quality production of Shakespeare in this town. Usually either the actors don't understand what they are saying OR ...
