What I liked

This play so amazingly recreates the style I was unsure if it was a new play. I had to ask. Some of the best casting I have seen at Fringe show as well. The cast recreates the style of the period without seeming stagy or disconnected to reality (a real problem I have seen with a lot of stage shows out here).

What I didn't like

The Fringe rules clearly state no late seating. Several friends of mine have been turned away for arriving late. Last evening a late comer walked in and took what they thought was an available seat that was actually where the play’s action took place. Then was seated in the last available seat which blocked my and my friend’s view of the stage entirely. Luckily this was rectified fairly quickly, but not without disruption. The rules should be followed.

My overall impression

One of the best written and acted theater pieces I have seen in Hollywood.
