What I liked

I really enjoyed the script, the actors (of course, they are some of my favorites), and the staging. The story was bizarre, but entirely human, relatable and hilarious.

What I didn't like

I really can’t think of much offhand that could be improved with this show. The 10-year old I was with loved it, but did comment that it was hard to know where they were all the time because there was no set to help with that and they were just “on a black stage.” So, if anything, maybe just a very minimal prop or set piece to clue in location those who are a bit young or those with attention issues. (Although, as I stated above, I actually enjoyed the minimal set, as it showcased the talent of the actors and playwright.)

My overall impression

I loved this show!! The talented cast carried the show well without the need for extravagancies. As if it were designed for the venue, the use of minimal set pieces and props, and lack of elaborate costume changes, this show is perfect for Fringe!! I laughed a LOT, and am still quoting the “love triangle” line to friends.
