So much care and enthusiasm put into this production... full review

Well-written, funny, heart-wrenching, and very topical/relevant all in one play. The show had me laughing, crying, and self-reflecting all in the span of 60 minutes. I also can't speak highly enough about the quality of acting by the four cast members. Highly recommend!!... full review

Crittenden’s “Pete” stitches together a female Frankenstein with coding rather than sutures to repair his own broken heart. And as with most mad scientists, his own heightened needs supersede the ethics of using his skills in the timeless quest for something more perfect than human.

Considering I just read a headline about sex robots becoming common aspects of life in less than 10 years, this play seems especially on-topic.

The future is now thanks to Devin Crittenden's the Amitycode. Director Nick Cimiluca and his cast offer a superb addition to the 2017 Fringe season. A morality tale wrapped up in a sci-fi version of the Frankenstein story, the Amitycode is brought to life with witty banter, stunning visual FX and fine ensemble acting, highlighted by Morgan Matthews' excellent performance as Exa the robot.
