Play Things

I really dug this play. I thought that the extremely innovative and clever use of horror to heighten and viscerally explore pressing themes and systemic issues in the queer community was a brilliant choice. There are some twists in the play that truly shocked me and absolutely engaged the hell out of me. The entire team was completely committed to the challenging material and I respect the true boldness of this play.... full review

This fast paced One Act has brought the mighty Genre Fusion of Horror Comedy to light at the Actors Company. With powerful Characters, Suspense and Perfumes by Beyonce?!... full review

Clear directorial vision, fabulous acting, unique and surprising story. This is what happens when you get the right writer/actors/director in the same room. Well done! ... full review

Powerful transfeminist work with a smattering of body horror for flavor. All of the actors excel in their physicality in the space. The use of varying light levels was also a brilliant touch. Mostly I was left wishing I could see it expanded into an even longer work! Definitely give it a shot if you're in the area.... full review

Play Things is exactly the kind of show you want to see at Fringe: daring, bold, unsettling, and fun! It’s a tour de force writing debut for Carlos Cameron which he also adeptly directs, making clever use of the space and evoking spirited and textured turns from the actors. The mysterious Blossom Chandler literally dominates the room and Matteo Roukes gives a remarkably nuanced performance while helplessly immobile. This spooky, provocative bit of mischief is not to be missed!... full review
