IMPORTANT NOTE: We cannot certify this reviewer attended a performances of this show because no ticket was purchased through this website or the producer has not verified they attended.

My overall impression

NOTHING REDEAMING. SAVE YOUR MONEY.
I REALLY WISH THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS HAD SHOWN UP BEFORE I BOUGHT MY TICKETS!
On that subject, if the positive reviews that were here were indeed friends of the show or worse, put up at the request of the show, “Shame on you!!!”.

Fringe is supposed to be experimental, low-budget, fun, etc. But, at its core, I believe it should be a safe place to be HONEST.

My commentary on the show mirrors those of the other negative comments: If this is the best writing Donn can do to showcase her talents, both have a short shelf life whose date is already overdue.

THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SEND UP TO HORROR FILMS OF THE 50’s, BUT IT IS STALE AS A PURPLE FRINGE VEST FROM THE 60’s.

My review of the plays Direction: I am not sure if better staging would have helped make this bomb work but in this caae..“what Director?” seems closer to accurate.
A completely amateur showing. Juwt because you got a few pats on the back when you borrowed Moms camcorder when you were a kid and the other kids on the block helped out as soxk puppet ninjas doesn’t mean you’re a Director ready to take on a play.

I felt sorry for the other actors who didn’t have enough talent to make this senseless plot (?) work. That is, I felt sorry until I remembered the ticket price and am now outraged to find that the high ticket price I paid was becauae of the phoney reviews.

there was no attempt made towards uniform costume or set. I know it’s Fringe but Come’on! Even the queues were off. This appears to be sheer laziness as opposed to low budget Fringe spirit.
