My overall impression

I’m no critic and I don’t normally do this sort of thing, but I think the above post is misleading. This is not a perfect show by any stretch, but as far as Fringe shows go, it’s well worth the ticket price. Not sure what the depression-era America thing is, there was nothing at the show to indicate it was placed in America, but I do know that I hate fake accents, and I much preferred the choice to just let the actors act rather than have to suffer through bad British accents. Engaging for almost all of it, with lots of subtle moments from the actors. Try to nab a seat where you can see both actors faces though, the seating rings the stage, and you really need to see the reactions to get the full feeling.
