Double Feature: The Original English & Murderfuck

cj hoke · June 27, 2019 certified reviewer
Writers Nate Myers and Thomas Dolan-Gavitt have put together a truly dark and hilarious half-hour of theater! It plumbs the depth of human experience and asks how we best serve our communities - recognizing that sometimes, that service comes in roundabout ways, and sometimes, at the sacrifice of our own ideals. ... full review

DROUGHT

constance jaquay strickland · June 27, 2019 certified reviewer
Kate will take you on a spiritual journey, using mythological narrative to examine violence women have suffered and will suffer at the hands of man. It is not an attack but a look at old truths rooted in ancient and modern-day storytelling. Kate’s use of her foot to control the electronic music became its own form of poetry as her voice soared and roared through the dark space, as footage of old ruins swelled the tiny theatre, DROUGHT became a new religion. You have one more chance to this regal ... full review

An interesting take on the prescient subject of climate change. Some of the effects of which seen in the show are not the first that come to our minds, but in the end help to send a call to action. The time is now. ... full review

The Living Room

adam willson · June 27, 2019 uncertified reviewer
Definitely see this show while you still can!! Death too often occupies this sacrosanct, sanitized, distant space. The Living Room brings it close, makes it real, authentic, impactful. Perfectly poised between irreverent satire and honest empathy, with some well-earned slapsilly moments and great self-referential commentary - a brilliant approach to a hard and trying theme that in all truthfulness could serve as a poignant model for other controversial topics. ... full review

The Last Croissant

benjamin schwartz · June 27, 2019 certified reviewer
Totally played for fun, The Last Croissant is cathartic way to laugh in the face of tragedy. And what better way is there to deal with devastation than comedy? Sharply directed over-the-top performances set the goofy tone for this getaway vacation play while keeping the pace flying from the start to the end.... full review

SON OF A BITCH

kelley pierre · June 27, 2019 certified reviewer
This fringe season has had a lot of wonderfully wacky, out-of-this-world productions- but then along comes this political-realism piece that just blows you out of the water. Lucy Gillespie's pulls us through our own history in a way that doesn't spoon feed us a particular message but rather puts us in the room of the beginnings of the smear campaign ads and our now hopelessly entwined experience of media and politics. ... full review

SON OF A BITCH

benjamin schwartz · June 27, 2019 uncertified reviewer
A fascinating biodrama filled with wit and an exceptional performance by Ben Hethcoat. From the POV of Lee Atwater, we watch him rise through the political ranks, break conventions, and change the system. The script carefully deviates from its A-plot from time to touch on Lee's love life. An extremely enjoyable play from a solid theatre producing team. You will leave the theater ready to Google Lee Atwater and find out more.... full review

In Conclusion:

anonymous · June 27, 2019 uncertified reviewer
Riveting from beginning to end. What I love about what Puckwit Gang does is that they take you on an unconventional journey and you just need to sit back and let it take you along. They also achieve great images and the direction and script are very strong.Thought provoking. This group is really unique and worth seeing.... full review

The Narcissist Next Door

tobin mitnick · June 27, 2019 certified reviewer
This show was the laugh crack I needed during this Fringe. Not to say that there hasn't been some extremely funny stuff out there, but there's something to be said for a laser-focused comedy that goes goes goes for 75 minutes.... full review

A charming, touching and familiar story that is about a lot more than video stores. It's a about human connection, pain, love and loss. A wonderful cast takes you on quite a delightful, bittersweet journey. ... full review

kelley pierre · June 27, 2019 certified reviewer
So I happen to be OBSESSED with "Clue The Movie" and "Vote For Murder's" High school twist on these color-coded characters basically made my dreams come true. I entered the show feeling a little tired and a little unwilling to play, but within five minutes of the experience- I was running around like a mad woman. So. Damn. Fun. ... full review

Tattered Capes

leah verrill · June 27, 2019 certified reviewer
A fun adventure in the comic book world! Husband and wife both have super powders but have kept them from each other. Finally one night they must reveal their identity. This is a fun, fast paced show. The choreography and fights are well done and the use of the space and props are suburb. I loved that they kept it dramatic instead of crazy, wacky or over the top. The acting is very grounded and realistic. ... full review
