What I liked

Great performances by the two leads and I loved the use of a minimal set. One of the best traditional plays I’ve seen at this Fringe!

What I didn't like

None – keep developing this!

My overall impression

This is a great little play and feels like it was personally built for me. As someone who worked in the comics industry for 22 years and has been a life-long fan, this is a story I am familiar with. What Joshua does well is distill it down to its essence and share with you both the legends and the truth about what really happened.

It’s well directed, traversing a long period of time with brief moments of fourth-wall breaking that feels natural.

Fringe should be either be a place to experiment or bring your A-game. This play does both – it takes some experimental risks in the way it presents the info and the cast and crew really bring their A-game.
