What I liked

All the actors were able to “glow with the flow” in this totally immerse production, one of the best I have ever attended. Great costumes that really made you feel as if you were back in a speakeasy in the 1920s. Want a lesson on how to effectively present as immersive show? Go see this one!

What I didn't like

This show is pretty perfect as it is!

My overall impression

Definitely my favorite Fringe show this year – so much so, I went to see it twice. Loved immersing myself into the action and getting to roam among the entire cast, speaking to all to gather clues about what happened to the Don during his Wake. I spent a lot of time assisting Wil, the detective hired to find out exactly who killed the Don. No two shows will be the same as different clues are given away, leasing to different people being guilty. The fun is in trying to figure it out. Oh, and be sure to enjoy a few games of blackjack with Evie, but be forewarned – she cheats!
