Family Fries

What do you get when you combine a sociopath, her PTSD suffering Dad, her younger suicidal brother, and some random Craigslist record buyers together? You get one of the funniest, most disturbing dramas the Hollywood Fringe is boasting this year! In Pam Eberhardt's play, Family Fries, she not only breaks the dial off of family dysfunction, she obliterates it. Full of manipulation, discord, and massive doses of insanity, what hope is there for this family? What are the options? Can a new and better dial replace the broken one? Sacred Fools, long known for their theatrical excellence, does not disappoint with this play. And for those who enjoy drama, the stakes could not be any higher.

A seriously dark and hilarious romp into a exceptionally dysfunctional family!!... full review

Very dark humor is surprisingly satisfying and fun. I did not know where this was going and thoroughly enjoyed the ride.... full review

This show is DERANGED in the best possible way. The Family Fries team built a world where anything was possible, you never knew who was walking through that door, who was dead, what Jake was going to do next. I was in from the jump. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf on steroids. Big big fan.... full review

Terrific dark, dark, dark comedy with a great resolution I did not see coming. Excellent work by all!... full review

This was a wild ride! I don't think I've ever seen as intense of a Fringe show -- or maybe even a play this intense -- anywhere, ever! If you like some John Waters meets Sam Shepard meets FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC meets MEAN GIRLS on Adderall-vibes, this is for you!... full review

So weird and nasty and funny and beguiling. I could have stayed in that f'cked up world for a very long time! Great writing, acting, directing. Here's to that family! If you see it/have seen it - I hope you make ti out alive! Kudos!... full review

Superb writing, acting and direction. Rollercoaster ride that had me feeling like I was on this insane journey right there with them.... full review

Shit! That show had me on the edge of my seat. Loved the dysfunction but maybe that’s because I’m a therapist! Ha! It was sooo complex and loaded with life stuff. Yay! Say all the things writer. Deliver it well actors. Yes yes yes. Family Fries is lovely. The end is so damn special. ... full review
