A beautiful, heartbreaking look into what happens when people let their guard down and show how vulnerable we are. At the end, we all just want to be loved - by our partners, by our parents, by each other. It's amazing what this three person cast does with just a stage and a few props but then again, that's what makes Fringe shows incredible, especially this one. ...

"Up Down Stick Stuck" is a modern day take on Sartre's "No Exit." The premise is brilliant, a story of three strangers who become forced to interact with each other within the confines of a suspended elevator.

The audience is invited into an intimate setting and learn each of the three's particular grievance.

A unique exploration with an in-depth interpretation of three very interesting and extremely well acted characters. Simplistic and finely tuned, well worth seeing for the acting alone. Interesting and well-paced. I saw a late night 1130p performance and I was completely engaged and entertained!...

Well acted, well written. Performances were solid across the board. Moments of comedy mixed with poignancy. A reflection of the fleeting relationships forged and forgotten within seconds in today's times....

It is very clear that the actors are personally connected to this piece. It is a little slice of life that is extremely relatable. All three of the actors deliver an emotional performance and each of them are very grounded in their characters. I couldn't help but see elements of myself in each of them. I left the space feeling open, recharged and excited about theatre!
I loved it so much I saw it twice!...
