Colin Mitchell has created a work of art, nothing less, a great story unfolded by a master storyteller. Go see this show, and afterwards you'll be amazed as you think back and realize it was just one man on stage. You leave feeling like you've experienced an epic. And it's a fun piece, as well, not overly dramatic, histrionic, or so weighty that it goes too far. Every little detail, every word spoken, and every single emotion was perfect. Really an example of great theatre. ... full review

It was thoroughly engaging, beautiful direction from Christian Levatino.... full review

As satisfying as a forkful of haggis after a night at the pub.... full review

Review by Pauline Adamek. ***This review first appeared on www.StageRaw.com *** Say “yes” to the whisky. Colin Mitchell has resurrected a one-person play he first staged in 1996 and has dusted it off for a remount at the Hollywood Fringe Festival during its fifth year. Written and performed by Mitchell, and directed by Christian Levatino, "Linden Arden Stole the Highlights" tells the fanciful first-person tale of a man now pushing 50 who, for a handful of years, became enmeshed in the street drug trafficking scene in post-Hippie San Francisco.

There's strong storytelling and it's a deep performance, the actor, Colin Mitchell is entrenched and truly feels the material.... full review
