Victor and Victoria's Terrifying Tale of Terrible Things is a "See it Again" production at the Edmonton Fringe.

I walked out of the theatre saying to myself, "I could see that again." And I just might if Victor and Victoria is held over. I hope so because the play deserves it.

The cast, Rain Matkin and Eli Yaschuk, have obviously lived with the script and their characters for awhile. I never for a moment thought the two were actors on stage reciting lines.

They were completely believable as two slightly (very?) odd set of twins telling a terrifying tale of terrible things.

And, Director/Designer Jim Guedo did all of the big and little things right. From the first light and sound effect, he grabs the audience and doesn't let go. We're in for a fun and scary 70 minutes.

The only reason I'm giving this production 4 stars instead of 5 is because I looked at my wrist watch twice during the play.

Again, it was a fun and a scary 70 minutes. With a few cuts, Victor and Victoria would make for a FANTASTIC 60 minutes.

Still, very, very good.
