SON OF A BITCH

I loved it. Start to finish, I was leaned forward in my chair. The writing really sang and I think Billy Ray's direction made great use of the theatre in the round and let the actors all really shine. Favorite show I've seen so far.... full review

Son of a Bitch is a brilliant piece of historical fiction that captures the spirit of the intriguing story of Lee Atwater and his role in the 1988 Presidential elections that resulted in George Bush‘s victory over the more popular Michael Dukakis. ... full review

This play was a beautiful and intense ride through the fascinating story of Lee Atwater. Ben Hethcoat was really wonderful, his charisma lights up the stage and it's so clear that he knows Lee Atwater inside and out, he fully commits to his role. There are some interesting thematic elements to Son of a Bitch that makes it very relevant today, and I think this play does an excellent job of portraying the true historical events in a theatrically engaging way. This is one of the best shows I've seen at the Fringe thus far, I highly recommend it. ... full review

Bush elected.... full review

One of my favorite shows of the Fringe so far! Outstanding direction, writing, and performance by the entire cast. Lucy Gillespie's dialogue is super effective and Billy Ray Brewton weaves a terrific tale. Outstanding performances from Ben Hethcoat, David Mcelwee and Chloe Dworkin.... full review

This one's a doozy. Expertly directed by Billy Brewton -- there is absolutely no dead space. Outstanding acting by the entire cast. The writing crackles. Do not miss.... full review
