My overall impression
We were really glad we made it out for The Miss Julie Dream Project @ Hollywood Fringe. First time at this fringe fest, and we loved the venue (3 Clubs) and the play. Living in SF and NYC I volunteered, worked, and otherwise frequented the fringe fests there, and it’s always a mixed bag — with a few shining gems that really bring a strong, unique vision and push the form. We really appreciated the innovative, but strangely/certainly disciplined approach the writers took to exploring Strindberg’s two plays, and the absolute commitment from the actors. It was fresh, challenging, surprising — totally liberated as a work. With so many collaborating writers, it was also impressively (ultimately) cohesive. Kudos to the director, too, for managing such a tightly choreographed, complex show. Bravo to all! (Also, thumbs-up for the Manhattan + Old Fashioned cocktails at 3 Clubs…)
