DICLE OZCER uncertified reviewer June 12, 2018
Absolutely haunting. The Puckwit Gang shares their beautiful piece of art and great ensemble work with us again. The Dangerous Cures of Dr. B is such an interesting story with clear parallels to what's happening now in our society. I was immersed in the story the entire time, I was entertained and thought about it for days after I've seen the show. Entertaining, visually exciting with original songs. You will not be able to take your eyes off the stage. Definitely the best show I've seen so far in this season ofHollywood Fringe festival. Better get your tickets before they sell out!... full review

I can’t believe it was an original piece with great ensemble contributions. Great direction, music, and message, very refreshing. ... full review

This was a truly dark story of a man who was in many ways just another Jim Jones or David Karesh, and the insane ways that people can ignore reality when it opposes their rosy picture. Kudos to the Puckwit Gang, who turned in stellar ensemble performances and brought the sordid story to life.... full review

This was an amazingly acted play and very inciting story that kept me gripped from beginning to end! I loved their use of space and and vignettes they created to explain things quickly. There was a lot of story to cover and this group came together to tell a seamless story about a tragic yet unbelievable event. ... full review

I didn’t know what to expect for this show. I have standards, and this show exceeded them. I was engaged from start to finish. The acting is above par, and you can tell from the first moment that everyone on stage was giving their heart and mind to the moment. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. ... full review

The performance was wonderfully unexpected, well written, well performed and cohesively directed. It felt familiar, as if it were unraveling deeper notions of the characters in my own life. All the while it was extremely theatrical with an ambitious group of spot on cues. I would recommend this play to all. ... full review

An experimental piece that explores the story of a healer/charlatan/con man's affect on the lives of those who wish to be "healed" by his services. The piece is charming at first, but manages to take on an almost sinister tone at times as more is learned about Dr. B's radical methods. The show provides a chilling reminder of how gullible we all can be if we want something bad enough.... full review

I saw this show a few nights ago and I still have hauntingly brilliant visuals in my mind. Was it the lighting? Did it all seem like a flickering movie that happened before my eyes? It was indeed very disturbing, which means they succeeded in making me FEEL something. Bravo.... full review
ANONYMOUS uncertified reviewer June 18, 2018
This was an incredibly interesting and original piece of theater. The acting was great as the actors were all fully committed to the world in which they were all existing. The addition of live folk music was also a huge plus! I was thoroughly impressed that every aspect of the show was an original creation.... full review
