A playful exploration of circular time with a touch of mysticism thrown in for good measure. Tonally all over the place but somehow it adds to the charm of this production.... full review

A welcome mindfuck. ... full review

This kind of play is exactly what Fringe is for. It was weird and incomprehensible until it wasn't. Then, it was really cool. ... full review

Michael Shaw Fisher does it again with a Lynchian tale that reels you in with sharp writing, stellar performances, and crafty staging.... full review

SHOW #5: A hard-to-quantify, non-standard, twisty show you should see because it's fun as hell and gets your thinks happening. ... full review

To me, Sam Mobean is an alluring, abstract play conjuring themes like identity crisis, existentialism, and fate. Great use of the black box and several creative, unique theatrical conventions are established early on and used throughout with great success and excitement.

The most interesting piece that I've seen from Michael Shaw Fisher yet.... full review

This show was a freakin' wild ride. The entire cast is stupid talented. An interesting show to see as unfortunately the majority of what I've experienced at Fringe thus far has been pretty underwhelming. This show makes you think and makes you laugh and makes you impressed. It makes you. lol Like most Michael Shaw Fisher show you leave going "What did I just watch?", but like... you're happy about it.... full review

After spending the last couple of years producing amazing art with Cherry Poppins productions, he has returned with an amazing show that channels his inner David Lynch, and gives us the “fringiest” show of HFF19. ... full review

An exquisitely performed, existential, comical and mind-bending ride - was lost, until I wasn't, then lost again and SO happy to be there. Awesome.... full review
