Dead Lucky

It was quite a good show which picked up as it went deeper into the main character's storyline.

The jokes in the beginning were pretty good and some were surprising and there was some discussion and insight surrounding attitudes towards death but mainly it was about the experience of going through a health scare.

It didn't reach me on the emotional level but at least it was understandable and solidly performed. At times it felt like 'the more you know' segments as it was explaining terms like stent and cardiac arrest but then ironically at the end questioned how good it is to know things and rather just live. I liked the fact that there was still some lingering mystery as to why the main character was afraid of dying.

Some good things here.

A delightfully real show. Very touching with characters and relationships written in such an intriguing way. Would definitely recommend it to everyone still looking to fill their Fringe cards - make room for this one! Beautiful direction and heartfelt acting with an interesting story - what more could we ask for?!

this is the best play on fringe statges, every element was seemless and the set was relaly thoughtful. costumes and characters were deep and well eveolved. The relationships were very believable and you feel like you are watching reality not a play. EXCELLENT!!!! in every way. well done! if you only see one play - see this one.

This play is based on the playwright’s own experience of surviving a near-death cardiac arrest 15 years ago. It is funny, thoughtful and poignant as only life-and-death stories can be. It is very relatable: most of us have had some experience with a significant medical shock. It’s well written, really well performed and staged. It’s 50 minutes in length but will stay with you much longer. Highly recommend !
