Dinosaurs

A modern day fairytale about the importance of confronting one's past, or face the consequences that the past may come back to visit you in the most unexpected way. I loved all that Dinosaurs conjures up and the message it has to offer. I tightly written comedy/drama with fine performances from the cast of four. ... full review

When a dinosaur that represents your trauma appears, what the hell do you do? Dinosaurs is both an absurd comedy and a haunting look into truly heinous acts. And it's incredible on both counts. A tight script and superb performances make this a wonderful return from their 2024 premiere.... full review

SUPERB acting, lovely premise, great mix of comedy and drama.... full review

Grounded, whimsical, hilarious, and heartbreaking. This show dives headfirst into the complexities of trauma and healing around it. Dinosaurs so beautifully navigates lingering harm that lives in the body...and outside of it. Dinosaurs masterfully balances the line of comedy and drama with impeccably timed humor that doesn't dare to detract from the generous vulnerability that this piece demands.... full review

A beautiful blend of comedy and drama, fantasy and reality. Really unique and beautiful storytelling!... full review

The show, Dinosaurs by Mandy Rubeli, returns following its 2024 award-winning Fringe run. A delightful mix of fantasy, science fiction, healing deep childhood wounds, and even comedy. The show is so fast-paced and enjoyable, that I felt like I had been warped into a different time period myself! Wonderful performances and a thought provoking script. Fun experience! The show is sold out, but I hope you will have a chance to catch it before Edinburgh.... full review

This show was already rock solid the first time around they did it two years ago, but somehow Mandy and co. found places to tighten up and really turn this play into something razor sharp where every detail feels intentional... full review
