THE DEATH OF SAM MOBEAN

drew petriello · June 17, 2019 certified reviewer
This show filled me with as much laughter as it did existential horror. Hey, I was also surprised to find that the show which includes a jarring cutaway of horny teenagers making out is also the one that gave me nightmares about the futility of existence.... full review

Welcome to class, ladies! Your teacher is brimming with energy, and is very charming and witty! Also, the apartheid referendum is coming up soon because it's 1992 in South Africa. At thirty minutes long and free, you have no reason not to see No Child Left Behind this Fringe.... full review

Silent Joy, a New Play

drew petriello · June 14, 2019 certified reviewer
A beautiful play that manages to pull off a tricky narrative structure, say something meaningful about depression and abuse, while being truly theatrical. I know it is adapted from an upcoming graphic novel and I'm sure there are several adaptational differences, but the way this story was told could only have worked in the theatre.
