Going Home

An incredible blend of writing, direction and impeccable storytelling from a remarkable cast, Going Home stands on its own as a show to definitely see this Fringe, especially if you love Mafia-inspired tales. Quick, witty and bold, I loved the script. The casting in this piece fit so well, with breakout performances from the entire cast of Chance Lang, Mo Leblanc, Kory Karam and Vincent Giovanni.

No spoiler here -- this is a precisely executed thoughtful reckoning that provo... full review
