this is my third year of seeing liam witte scripts at fringe and he continues to impress.
I think primadonna still remains my favourite, but this was a great showing. I thought it would be more comedic than it was, but the drama was well done and integrated well.
the acting was very strong, especially from the lead actress. whole ensemble was very good. lighting enhanced the show as well.
good show! worth seeing.
mixed feelings. I think there’s potential here, but the script currently feels fan-ficy and not super developed. needs a good editor to give it a clean look over. might be worth something but definitely not at its best form yet.
acting was good. the lead actress was the standout but nothing wrong with her supporting players. made some iffy dialogue better.
design was quite developed for a fringe show. good set, and surprisingly developed lighting for a fringe show I was very impressed by it. sound was good too. only design complaint (more directing) is that I really don’t like seeing stage hands onstage and a lot of their appearances were not necessary.
decent bones but still not super great. all is not lost though.
nothing not to love here!
saw this on opening but finally getting around to reviewing it
a very talented cast. well picked. one of the better emerging cabarets I’ve seen.
if this isn’t a five star fringe show I sincerely don’t know what is
production value is very high for fringe (they had matching costumes and a big set) and the story feels fully fleshed out. a fringe ensemble this big rarely has the characterization and development for each role. the lighting is outstanding but thats to be expected with even gilchrist (his alphabet line lights are a personal favourite of mine). writing was great, acting was great, design was great.
i’ve seen ten shows so far (I don’t review everything I see, only when I have something to say about it). anyways, i’ve seen ten shows. this is my favourite. I anticipate it will stay that way for a while.
