8:03

One of the best pieces of physical theatre I've ever seen (and the first time I've actually "gotten" the story being told in a dance piece - a real achievement). This athletic trio speaks volumes while barely uttering a syllable ("Dobkins!"). Absolutely enchanting and engaging. Do not miss this show. ... full review

This creative athletic trio explores what can happen when the clockwork, "Groundhog Day" of daily living goes awry. With barely a word spoken, the trio illustrates how people can weather, literally and figuratively, life's adversities. The multifaceted, life-affirming performance tackles a variety of themes. In the end, camaraderie and the human spirit prevail. Fun for the whole family.... full review

The precision, timing, and connections that these three actors share is impeccable. Their amazing performances help not only draw you into their world, but also perfectly illustrate their intentions while communicating with one another. I was with them from start to finish - story and character! Thanks, guys!... full review

This show is gloriously haunted by the ghost of Samuel Beckett. It's part pure clowning, part vaudevillian musical comedy, part Biomechanical etude -- but it transcends those forms to delve into character and story in a way that much physical theater doesn't manage. The influences and touchstones here are clear -- not just Beckett, but Le Coq, Grotowski, Decroux, Charlie Chaplin... But this is so much more than just an exercise. There is an almost overwhelming pathos in the three characters onstage -- you feel for each of them deeply. The entire audience was laughing hysterically throughout the first three-quarters of the show -- but by the end, I was closer to tears than laughter. I also have to commend the three performers themselves -- th... full review

Thus far, this is my favorite of the shows I've see at this year's Fringe. Physical comedy is hard, and most fall short, however 8:03 delivers with a hilarious display that hits the mark every time. The show is well-paced, well-staged, and hilarious, with excellent lighting and sound design that effectively heightens the comedy and advances the story. The three actors, while varied in style, are fully committed, and equally convincing, bringing forth distinct personalities to the characters, despite the fact that they collectively only ever utter a single made up word, saying it no more than a dozen times through the entire show. The most impressive feat of this show, for me, is the fact that there is no director, yet this is the best... full review

Oh my God, I love this show! Even a few days later, I can't quite put it into words. It's part comedy, part drama, part clowning, part existential introspection... but all amazing. The commitment by these wonderful performers is amazing and the various emotions that evoke is even stronger. So much fun and yet so much more. Go see this! ... full review

I strongly recommend seeing 8:03. These three young actors, just out of college, wrote and perform a very mesmerizing piece of theatre. It is a very interesting collage of physical brainiac theatre and I was reminded both of Waiting for Godot and a spin-off of the T.V. show Lost. Thanks for a great experience guys, I look forward to your next production. ... full review

Devo opens a bakery after an apprenticeship with Lucille Ball. Physical theater with no dialogue in a Dadaist exploration of the daily grind. Three Stooges and three musketeers. Don't sleep past 8:03 "Dobkins!"... full review

These three guys are on to something... This show was such a fun experience that had me laughing, thinking, and fully engaged. The use of space was fantastic and they created this great little world that invited the audience in. The physicality of it all had such clarity that made the show very sharp and filled the hour well. Everyone of these actors were so great with subtle expressions as well! A+... full review

Wonderful show! Three actors take the audience on quite the ride. All physical comedy, movement, repetition - the perfect Fringe show! Highly recommend this!... full review
