This was not only one of the best shows I've seen at the Fringe, but perhaps one of the best shows I've EVER seen.
Aaron Lyons is a consummate raconteur. Aided by the gorgeous and talented Ruth Fox, and backed by a swingin' three piece band, he holds the audience spellbound as he spins Shel Silverstein's epic tale live on stage. Do NOT miss this show. ...

There are some shows where you show up not knowing what to expect, you sit down, strap in and get ready to go on a ride. That's exactly what happened here. I sincerely enjoyed this show. The clever concept, of a suddenly self-aware literary character desperately trying to escape their pre-written destiny, experienced in a series of dreams they fall through is both interesting and creative. I'm fascinated not only by this piece, but by the process it was developed. I hope to see more explorations ...

This is the first show I've ever seen by Theatre Movement Bazaar, and I guarantee it won't be my last. A bold and intriguing interpretation of the Tennessee Williams classic that had me engaged from beginning to end. Bravo....

Incredibly strong performances and solid direction couldn't save a script that lacks both character arcs and crucial elements to tell a complete, or at least clear, story. I find myself echoing the question of other reviewers - what were we supposed to take away from this?

Bravo.

A valiant attempt by a group that's clearly passionate about making theatre. Unfortunately, I felt the production was lacking in a few key areas (comprehension of Wilde's text being a big issue), and the acoustic cover of "Call Me Maybe" in the middle of the show stuck out like a sore thumb.
While I am rating this show as Not My Thing, I do sincerely applaud these guys for taking the chance they did. I hope they'll come back next year with a little more seasoning and different material, as I ...

I really enjoyed this production. Although I think the show itself needs further development to be a fully polished and presentable show, I also believe it *deserves* further development. I found it to be thought provoking on important and currently relevant cultural topics - specifically race and gender in relation to nerd culture. Also, although I was apprehensive at first about the the unexpected talkback after the show, I really enjoyed the dialogue that came from it, and I thought it turned ...
