Mathew Robinson uses a post apocalyptic backdrop to create a satire that effectively skewers celebrity worship, pop culture, religion, and fascism. ... full review

A crowd-pleasing, high-concept satire drenched in current pop-culture references. Matthew Robinson tackles the postmodern comedy genre with familiar devices and tones while dodging the trite and expected. Robby Devillez earns a gold star for keeping the action flowing and the actors engaged and moving onstage. ... full review
JIM HANNA certified reviewer June 13, 2019
Hilarious, tightly scripted/directed silliness in service to some pretty biting social commentary. The direction was on point and allowed this very talented cast to zip out joke after joke in Matthew's truly funny writing. This is a classic late-night-at-Fringe fun but holds up as a very serious, solid, entertaining production no matter when you see it.... full review
JENNIE FAHN certified reviewer June 15, 2019
Hilarious and on point - a perfect Fringe show, with fully committed, excellent acting, snappy direction, and great writing from start to finish. A super fun and funny play!... full review
ERIC DEPRIESTER certified reviewer June 17, 2019
A lively and irreverent take on the post-apocalypse, full of imaginative staging, conversationally quippy dialogue, and self-aware skewering of sci-fi tropes. ... full review
DALLAS MATHERS certified reviewer June 17, 2019
This was a fun show with very sharp satire. And it was staged really well for a budget production - everything worked - and it looked like the actors were having a blast.... full review

My favourite show of this year's Fringe so far. Witty, intelligent, hilarious satire on our star loving culture and the creative process of theater, with winks to the Fringe festival itself.... full review

Just plain fun! The humor is especially great for people who have lived in LA too long. The cast is ticghtly-knit, and it shows in their performances, and there's jokes for every sensibility--raunchy, punny, dry, sarcastic, everyone. And all of it fits in a well-built sci-fi world. ... full review
KRISTINA MUELLER certified reviewer June 18, 2019
Lots of fun! What happens when centuries from now we've started worshipping celebrities like deities? (Or are we doing that already...?)... full review
JAMES COUGAR CANFIELD certified reviewer June 22, 2019
This was a lot of fun. Very clever. I'm not usually a fan of plays about acting, but I thought this took the trope and really turned it on its head in a fantastic way. ... full review
