NORMAL

Great work! A powerful show that's strong, and delivers! ... full review

This play is disturbing and entertaining... and I'm also a bit disturbed that it entertained me... but I guess that's the point!... full review

Normal chilled me to the core. The emotional journey was a rollercoaster I felt fully part of. The story makes each audience member come face to face with the darkest part of themselves. Bystanders we may be, Innocents we are not.... full review

“The case ended on April the 23rd, 1931. The jury retired for an hour and a half. Peter was sentenced to death 9 times. The judge said that Peter’s crimes had been committed in cold blood, and that during the trial he had created the impression of cleverness, calmness, and considered deliberation. ‘Peter Kurten’, he said, ‘is normal’.” As human beings, we define ourselves by that which we are not. Sometimes this distinction translates as a list of exceptional abilities: rational thought, language, building skyscrapers. Other times, it is what we don’t do that seems most critical to our distinction from the natural world: Humans don’t kill each other for fun. We don’t eat each other humans. We don’t engage in rape as our primary mode... full review

Like venuring deeply into the circus freakshow of the human psyche. Highly unsettling, but gripping, challenging, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. See this show!... full review

Excellent show! Well acted, directed, costumed, and set. They did so much with a small stage and connected with the audience. Its not a play for the faint of heart or those with virtually any kind of trigger warning, but if you can handle it, go see it.... full review

This might be one of the darkest shows I’ve seen at Fringe…and I loved every minute of it. We see the story of Peter Kurten, a German serial Killer, through flashbacks and current time meetings with his lawyer. What I liked about this show is that even in the world of being politically correct, where any little thing is scrutinized and protested, they followed through with showing some of the violence that Kurten had used. This is so important to do to make an impact. It was not exploitative, but emotional. You felt for these characters and the trauma they’ve been through.

Overall, the production was fascinating. The surreal look and interesting style was for sure creative, unique and like something I have not seen before. The poetic dialogue and talented cast made this worth watching. Although, this was disturbing as hell... and maybe this story was a step into hell, I was for sure interested in seeing where the story was taking me. It is exciting to see how Fringe can put up such interesting shows! ... full review
