The Fringe Festival is amazing because it allows for these kinds of underground plays to find a stage and come to life. If there's a story somewhere it has a place here. Ryan Lisman always explores taboo topics in surprising ways. He's bold and unapologetic in his writing and that's very refreshing.

The actors are all fantastic, committed to their roles and unwavering.... full review

Ryan Lisman is a talented writer with a unique voice and vision. I c... full review

Why tho???? I understand that moments from this play are purposefully awkward and cringe-inducing, but most of the time I found myself laughing because I had pretty much no idea what to think. The playwright could be aware of this and intentionally making his audience uncomfortable, but the writing and dialogue was not funny enough to back it up. It was corny as hell. ... full review
