THE DEATH OF SAM MOBEAN

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

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. I felt as though these scenes were best taken in by allowing myself to settle into the momentum and tone of the piece instead of trying to decode them on-the-fly. The most interesting piece that I've seen from Michael Shaw Fisher yet.... full review

A swirling, maddening, hilarious descent into a tale as twisted as its main character. I heard a lot of comparisons to David Lynch before the show, and I gotta say, it did not disappoint. Mindbending and entertaining from start to bloody finish. ... 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

What a weird and wonderful and wacky show that just kept spiraling towards more and more insanity. This was right up my theatrical alley.... full review

A cast, script, and director firing on all cylinders! I absolutely loved it! A surreal journey filled with humor and inspired staging executed with assassin-level precision by the cast. This is a show that defies expectations while simultaneously exceeding them. Would see it again without hesitation! A fucking delight!... full review

I'll put money on this play being the most clever & interesting you'll see all Fringe. A wild ride full of lyrical beauty, excellent writing & acting and impeccable stagecraft & use of space. Original, hilarious, disturbing and thought-provoking.... full review
