MARSHA MICHAELS uncertified reviewer June 20, 2011
Bravo, Bravo, Bravo. This is one of the best plays in the Fringe Festival. The actors do not miss a beat. This play is a must see. Morgan Micahels and Ryan Lahetta capture the essence of the whimsical, off beat siblings in the Lanford Wilson play, "Home Free". All catagories a "5" star. Qulity of Performance "5 star Plus". ... full review

I wasn't quite sure what to think about the play itself as its a pretty taboo/strange concept, however the actors did an amazing job in bringing the characters to life and engaging the audience. The girl, Morgan was extremely lively and fun to watch and the guy, Ryan, seemed to do embody his part really well. I would recommend it to anyone, its something a bit different, but enjoyable, and a fairly short play (40 mins or so), which makes it easy to watch also. So check it out, its one of the better and more interesting plays I've seen at Fringe so far! Good work!... full review

In a story that doesn’t have much action, the actors kept the pacing with their nat... full review
BRIGHT EYES PRODUCTIONS uncertified reviewer June 22, 2011
This is kind of a sad and forlorn little play. A man and a woman (spouses? siblings? both? neither?)in a dumpy little room which comprises their whole world. They imagine others in the room, but in fact, the only people in their world, really, are these two. All they have is each other. They bicker a little, giggle a little, keep a "surprise" box and a kind of magical (to them) toy Ferris wheel to add flavor to their otherwise dreary little existence. (The actors are convincing. There was no program, so I don't know their names, nor the director's and I think we should.) I suppose there must be people like these two out there in the world, maybe more than we realize. Lanford Wilson, the playwright, must think so. The play, (a minor work b... full review
