DEAD BOYS

I could have watched these two men work out their shit all damn day. Matthew (writer and star) was so easy with the words and so commanding. I also could have watched him check the bandaid all day. His work was so specific and grounded and honest and vulnerable. Andrew's performance was so strong and dropped into some deep vulnerability. I appreciated the silent moments between the men as they would take each other in and snap back into the reality of their circumstances... the end of the world.... full review

Brilliant! Mesmerizing! Superior! See this show! The script is refreshingly smart and unpredictable and effectively gives voice to so many important issues that need to be heard. The performances are both hilarious and heartbreaking. I most enjoyed Andrew Puente's vulnerability. And Matthew Scott Montgomery may have a new #1 fan, I felt like I could watch him inhabit this role for days - his nuance, his specificity, his groundedness and his razor sharp timing were beautifully enthralling to witness. I could go on and on. I hope Dead Boys will extend and continue on past this year's Fringe and I have a feeling it will. A very special and important piece of theatre.... full review

This is the must see play of the Hollywood Fringe! Touching on universal themes of high school outsiderness but in a unique setting, this play will have you talking for days afterwards. The performances are top notch and the technical directing also serves the play well. If you see one play this year, make it this one! ... full review

Probably the best show I've seen at Fringe this year. The greatest trick it pulls off is essentially being a drama while still making me laugh harder than any Fringe offering thus far. Heartbreaking and hysterical with amazingly grounded performances. Both actors are remarkable with Matthew Scott Montgomery giving the finest performance I've seen at HFF17 yet. Go see this!... full review

this is a beautiful play with perfect performances. Bravo to Matthew Montgomery for creating this. ... full review

Amazingly intense show! Had good amounts of comic relief to help audience go through the deep moments. The characters played polar opposites and it was such a big payoff in the end. I've been cracking up about the name Viridiana for days! KUDOS!... full review

Profoundly moving and unequivocally stunning. This piece brought so many social issues to the forefront of discussion in an incredibly approachable yet powerful way. The actors brought the perfect combination of pure honesty, humor, and raw emotion to the stage; and they had the audience completely enchanted from beginning to end. Absolutely beautiful.... full review

This is a MUST SEE SHOW. I left wanting more, so I would like to see it go further.... full review

Relying heavily on the sincere awkwardness between two strangers facing the same dilemma, this show will win you over as each character reveals just how vulnerable they are - even if admitting that could be a huge risk. Heartfelt performances make the show worth seeing.... full review

Superb. Montgomery and Puente knock it out of the park hitting the humour perfectly and capturing the pain of being a young man who doesn't feel he belongs - even at the end of the world.... full review
