Because of the dark and graphic nature of this play, not everyone will walk out of the theatre singing praises, but praise is heartily deserved. The bravery of the actors is to be commeded and production is tight. The play is a slow burn into your psyche and will probably take a day to digest. But, this dark play, like Dostoyevsky or Bukowski, offers glimmers of hope through the wreckage of modern life. Take your medicine.... full review

The show is intense..to say the least. It's a brutal slice of life that will keep you actively listening on the edge of your seat. Do be warned it's a graphic piece - it's where the reality of the show exists.... full review

Gritty. Edgy. Raw. What is life if not a collection of seemingly random events which force us to make a choice or stand dumbfounded in their wake? The stories woven together in this piece cleverly paint the various stages of man's consciousness & show how these stages affect each choice & our ability to reconcile our fear of this beast that is life. ... full review

At the end of the play, the only image I could find to describe it was that of beautiful, vibranr flowers wrapped around a piece of dead meat ridden with maggots. The language of the play is beautiful. The actions of the characters intense, desolate, violent and difficult to watch. The actors were perfectly cast and gave an amazing committment to what the world required. See it. You will be challenged, but you will be rewarded as well.... full review

A serious commitment for both cast and crew was evident in their intense portrayal of obsession, lust, and the dark side of man kind. I must say that I admire their true talent of the actors that left a major impression.... full review

Incredibly dark and intense, The Vagrancy's production of The Conduct of Life does not shy away from the unsettling and disturbing nature of Maria Irene Forne's words. With brave performances that are sure to shake you to your core, this is one show that won't allow you to be a passive theater-goer.... full review

This is a fantastic play, it asks many questions about so many things. Fast paced and intense. The acting is incredible. Amazing use of the stage with a minimal set. Get a ticket for the last performance as you should really see this. Enjoy... full review
