This show is somewhere between a political comedy and a slapstick. It's a good bet for someone who enjoys both absurdity and broad satire....

I loved it I loved it I loved it I loved it.
I was expecting something more... snide? Cynical? Instead I ended up at this stripped-down, beautiful piece, and I've been thinking about it often since. Go. Go now. Don't see the other thing you were going to see during that time slot; see this instead. ...

One of the best things I've seen at this year's Fringe! I walked in, since I had a gap in my schedule, and I was wonderfully surprised. This show is truly spooky and then heartbreaking. Such sharp acting, such sharp directing. ...
