Nostalgium

My overall impression

I found this to be a beautifully engaging piece, provocative and patient in its telling – in the writing, acting and direction. That said, there is room for trimming a good ten minutes from the middle, as it felt like it ran a little long, especially with (appropriately so) no intermission. I had the good fortune of sitting right on stage tonight, up close and personal, so mine was an especially intimate experience. I was struck by the obvious commitment and care that the cast, Tracy Dillon and Luke Scroggins, brought to their roles…the conviction of director Alexander Thomas Scott to keep it simple stupid…and the depths to which writer Matt Benyo went to bring forth such a poetic piece. This is a must-see, and a Fringe fave for me.
