My overall impression
I was looking forward to this based on the posters… REALLY AWFUL and DISAPPOINTING. None of these people are going to be making a living off their talent. This one should not have made it out of the basement.
A terrible showing by the lead actress whom I was shocked to find is also the writer and co-producer of this craptacular monstrosity.
If this is the best she can do as a writer especially when writing a character for herself to play… It’s time to rethink career choices. The acting overall was terrible and missed the feel promised by the advertising. Obviously, the many reviewers who gave this a thumbs up were “friends”. Friend reviewers posting like that do a disservice to the theatre community and those people should be ashamed of themselves for posting fake reviews. With very little research one finds they are all in same theatre groups. Sad indeed!
Lest we not forget or forgive the Director in all of this. While it’s near impossible to stage a true dog and have your audience come out thinking it’s really a stallion, the blocking and scene changes were senseless. It made me wonder if this person had ever Directed for the stage before. I am being uncharacteristically kind here but, thus is a Fringe show. That said, if you are going to claim the credit, do the work or take the review. Don’t quit your day job. Directing is an art all its own and requires talent and training in Directing, both of which are devoid in this “Directors” showing.
This was so bad I don’t even want to waste my time going into my normal amount of detail but with all of the deceptive reviews bilking unsuspecting Fringe goers out of their hard earned money, i felt it only just to provide an unbiased warning.
AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS.
I have seen better Fringe shows with no costumes at all, just one actor and a spatula. The spatula had more talent than all of these combined.
