OBLIVIOUS was a surprisingly cool delight on a hot summer day - I hope the creators find a way to expand this into something longer - i can imagine this having a good run somewhere.

This wasn’t initially one of our picks top picks, although it was on my radar. It was one of those “well this seems cool, I’ll try and see if I can fit it in”. I am SO glad I did! I saw the poster in the window of a venue where I was seeing another piece. I looked up some reviews and the ones I read seemed…negative, but what they said that was negative was what made me really excited to see this.

I highly suggest spending 30 minutes of your Fringe Viewing days to check this out, I spend the entire time laughing hysterically at how confused and scared the 3 chosen audience members were. This is a very unique show, and I hope that it comes back next Fringe and is even further expanded upon. ... full review

Great idea, great movement by the female actor in the show. It left me wanting more, but in a slightly frustrated way. ... full review
