Whichever One You Feed

richard levinson · June 08, 2026 certified reviewer
What starts out as an amusing bickering session among a pack of wolves arguing about who was responsible for the killing of the very delicious deer they are eating evolves into a sort of meditation on the need for a repudiation of violence, through empathy and understanding.... full review

Oh Constantine!

This is a high-paced, crowd pleasing romp through the sometimes violent and, well, Byzantine route to the creation of what we now know as the tri-partite nature of the Christian God at the Council of Nicaea .

The title, a play on words, suggests both the tone and the intensity of this dysfunctional family story. You feel you are in good hands throughout a production that is deeply layered, with fine performances and direction. Perhaps unusual for Fringe shows, this is a fully realized play and perf... full review
