This show should definitely be seen, but be ready to hear some things that might be more than you bargained for (and if you're sensitive to animals, and I am, then be prepared). But if you're ready for a challenge to your mind and senses, this is the production for you. The performances couldn't have been more mesmerizing and committed. And the direction was spot on....

A breathless assault, a dark dark dark psychological thriller that makes the audience culpable in all the horror unfolding on stage. A first-rate inquisition of our darkest tendencies. ...

A riveting performance by all three actors, I was completely mesmerized by this play. The fact that Peter Kurten was a real person really added to the drama, and the whole concept of what is or is not normal was something my husband and I talked about all the way home. This play is the best play we have seen at this year's Fringe, if it gets extended, don't miss it!...

Edgar Allen Poe-like horror on speed
Dynamic, lively tempo, with thrills, chills, and a diverting expedition into the inverse mirror-relationship between a repressed defense attorney and a fully freed-up sex-maniac/killer in a juicy Victorian context. Edgar Allen Poe on speed, with excellent, disciplined lighting and low-budget, effective special effects to titillate and terrify. ...

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. It was exciting and dangerous and disturbing, but more than that, it was nuanced and thought-provoking. Dealing with such heavy subject matter and violent themes can be difficult or end up feeling overwhelming in my experience, but I felt the quality of the acting and production pulled me in and allowed me to go along for the journey. The play holds a mirror up to each of us and our actions, and raises questions about the nature of evil that don't have simple, concise answers. I got chills and thrills galore!!! Be warned, this show is INTENSE, but totally worth a watch if you don't scare easy and want to see something entertaining and unique....

An excellently atmospheric, beautifully designed 3 person play about a German serial killer in the early 20th century. If this sounds appealing to you, you should definitely go....
