This show is well acted and purely original. If you a fan of dark comedy, I strongly recommend this one. The show tackles of few tough themes/topics I can definitely relate to....

Darkly funny - the not so typical American family with a penchant for kidnapping and abduction. There's a lot going on. The sister enters with an unconscious woman is haunted by the memory of her dead brother and convinced that she;s seen him up and walking around. Plus she's very hungry and wants fries. The younger brother badly burned when Mom set the house on fire years earlier. Dad in a vinyl world of his own, The nice couple and the seemingly unrelated uncounscious girl dragged in by Sister - sounds like fun, you bet and please don't try this at home. Thery are professionals....

A provocative, disturbing and entertaining production that blows up "kitchen table" drama to dangerous proportions with more than a few laughs along the way, thanks especially to the skills of the actors. The title, a play on words, suggests both the tone and the intensity of this dysfunctional family story. You feel you are in good hands throughout a production that is deeply layered, with fine performances and direction. Perhaps unusual for Fringe shows, this is a fully realized play and performed with polish and confidence.
I think this show may affect different people differently, depending on their own family histories...hopefully few are as disturbing as this clan....

This show was absolutely [expletive deleted] unhinged! Come along on this ride where you're not really sure how "cuckoo for cocoa puffs" it's really gonna get (but yeah, it really gets there). Watch this dark family dramedy play out in front of your eyes!...

Holy heck! This is intense, completely chaotic, kind of "what the actual f--??" off the wall, but in a way that makes you resonate deeply, sometimes with painful sweetness, with the universal weirdness, complexity, and desire to love and be loved of humanity. Smashing. I absolutely recommend this show, just don't expect to relax during ;) ...
