What I liked
Everything. Even the scene changes looked smart and efficient – and though any scene change that lasts more than a second usually sets this reviewer into tempting fits of impatience, here the time to process what was said and going on was welcome.
What I didn't like
Here’s to hoping we get to see the whole play one day.
My overall impression
This is one to see, friends – and as many reviewers before me have noted, this is what Fringe is for. As the program tells us, this is the second act of what I now hope will one day be a full play. You might think you have seen everything there is to see, from every possible angle, about The Beatles and John Lennon but this play here explores an incident that could just as easily happen today to an artist and ends up being about so much more than just this snapshot in Lennon’s timeline. The performances are a delight. The script is solid. It’s worth the time it takes to park, and though that might sound like nothing, on a weeknight, it can feel like we’ve entered the realm of Mad Max out there looking for a spot.
