It’s so hard to wade through all of the hyperbole of “GREATEST SHOW IVE EVER SEEN” and “WHY ISNT THIS ON BROADWAY?!!!” that always appear on these fringe reviews. I will say this; this is a tough show to watch content wise but you would be doing your art a great disservice by missing it. One of the top three shows I have seen at this year’s fringe. ... full review

This could not have been written better. The exploration of what it means to be a caretaker is summed up in a line by our female heroine toward the end of the play and it brought tears to my eyes. This play really examines the loss of love and questions our definition of "self" - what does it mean for someone to still be in a physical body, yet their personality (who they once "were") has changed? I could see this show on Broadway. A must see.... full review

I found the piece mesmerizing. I was engaged the entire time and truly moved throughout the piece. I found myself feeling many of the emotions that were being portrayed on stage. Well acted, written and directed.... full review

So well written and played. The actors are fully engaged, and real, it is sometimes hard to watch and that's also part of why this is so good! Congratulations to the whole team!! ... full review

An incredibly well crafted and written production worthy of the broadway/off-broadway circuit. This is a truly remarkable script and story that brings you into the snapshot of the difficult lives of those affected by war. And in doing so paints a brilliant and at times uncomfortable picture of reality. Wonderfully acted, expertly written and produced with an impactful sense of direction this is easily one of the best plays of the Hollywood Fringe!... full review

A tragic drama about three people who are wounded as a result of war. Intense performances. Clean, digestible writing. One of the most well-received plays this year. Everyone was talking about it during the festival so I had to see it; glad that I did.... full review

This is how you do theatre, guys. This script is layered and brilliant- I was just complaining an hour before the show to another fringer about how theatre isn't just spitting out an event with some dialogue- this show proved me right and reminded me what is possible - the slow reveal of information is flawless and artful. I felt safe in the hands of the writer, director and cast immediately- I knew I was watching something wonderfully made from the very first scene. Whoever is giving an award for best actress needs to check out the leading lady in this show- I was blown away. The two male actors were excellent and worthy scene partners. Funny enough I noticed another reviewer commented on the set- I was thinking for a moment about ... full review
