What I liked

This show is really funny. The actors all play three characters each, and each time, they feel like different characters (if that makes sense). I wasn’t thinking “oh, that’s the same person playing a new role” but rather embracing the newest characters in a predicament.

The first story was effing hilarious, and even though the other two stories are much less comedic, they still have a lot of humor sprinkled throughout that I couldn’t help but smile all the way through.

I know this is weird, too, but I LOVED the short run time (under 45 minutes). It allowed me to watch the show and easily squeeze it in to my Fringe watching schedule.

What I didn't like

This is a small nitpicky thing, but I would have preferred a different order of the stories, with the first one being the last story (mostly because of its indirect references to the title of the play), but is that really an issue? Ha, this show was great.

My overall impression

Funny, simple, short, and effective. Easy to fill a timeslot at Fringe.
