ANONYMOUS uncertified reviewer June 23, 2012
The second someone tries to tell me there is no Broadway-caliber theatre in Los Angeles--I will send them directly to this show. I'd even buy their damn ticket. This production better get extended!... full review

A super well done (disturbing) show with a fabulous director. Loved it.... full review
ANONYMOUS certified reviewer June 10, 2012
This was a powerful experience. The program discussed "sharing molecules" with the room, and that's exactly how it felt. I was fully invested in each of the characters from the start, and I was totally shaken at several points. I love the idea of taking full personal accountability for something and then being unsure if it's even yours to take. This theme was toyed with in a complex and deeply impactful way. See this play. I'm grateful I did last night.... full review

Seeing this play made me really happy I'm selective about which friends I stay in touch with from high school.... Fascinating story and excellent performances. You can tell this team delved into all the sides of these characters and not just the ones they understood. I knew a little more going into the show than others because of my interview with the director, but even so, the twists and turns and trap doors into which they fell kept me spellbound the whole time.... full review
BEN PETUCHOWSKI certified reviewer June 10, 2012
Perfectly staged, the play is intimate and you really feel as if you're in the motel room with the three characters. All three actors are outstanding. Interesting subject matter handled deftly. Definitely worth seeing!... full review
GREGORY CRAFTS certified reviewer June 12, 2012
This production lives at the intersection where a great script, strong direction and great acting meet. I'd never seen TAPE before, and the actors' nuanced, earnest and powerful performances had me sitting on the edge of my seat, waiting with baited breath to see what was going to happen next. Bravo. Worth seeing.... full review
ALEX HREIZ certified reviewer June 14, 2012
This was a phenomenal performance. A very intense play punctuated with just the right amount of comic relief. I was actually on the edge of my seat for the entire second half, anxiously awaiting the conclusion of the play. The interaction between the characters was so real, it was hard to believe they didn't actually go to high school together. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and would love to see it again if I had the chance. ... full review
RYAN KISSICK certified reviewer June 14, 2012
The show was absolutely thrilling, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The dynamic between the 3 actors is very real and honest. Throughout the show I became more and more invested in each character, and found myself relating to pieces of all of them. I left the performance questioning my understanding of "accountability" and rethinking my interactions/relationships with others. I've already purchased tickets to see it again! ... full review
JOE MAHON certified reviewer June 22, 2012
Taut, tight direction and a perfectly cast ensemble make this show well worth seeing. An engrossing, riveting ride from start to finish, with expert pacing, your attention will not waver once over the course of this gripping hour of theatre. Absolutely worthy of a Best of Fringe extension.... full review
