What I liked

I loved the whole play, it was exciting, I didn’t know what was coming next, I was invested in the characters, I laughed, my heart strings pulled and I’d see it again in a minute.

What I didn't like

That would be a nothing…it was fantastic.

My overall impression

Bravo!!! Funny, heartbreaking, unique, unpredictable…a blast!
This show is exactly what Fringe is all about- an exciting concept- theater ghosts and what happens AFTER the lights go out and the theater closes for the evening…. Two men, Johnny (wink wink) Kennedy(Jeffrey Johnson) and Derek(Michael Perlmutter), yup, just Derek clash after hours as thy vie to be THE theatre ghost, “I was here first..” I’m immediately laughing out loud, Johnny hates Mamet and Derek is desperately trying to connect with his daughter. Two women come in who you think are going to settle the score between Johnny and Derek, but we soon find out, they’ve got their own complicated existence. The cast is magnificent, the writing so clever, funny and sad at times. All is directed masterfully by Ann Noble.
