5review = Fun and entertaining. The acting was good. The world was strange and interesting. I thought it failed at dwelling into any depth. I think surrealism sometimes works better when you don't explain to the audience what's going on. There wasn't enough mystery. Things were weird, but nothing really fucked with your head, like a good surrealist play should.

5review = Diving and surfacing. I felt underwater. The images somehow seemed very far away although we were in a small theater. It was like seeing them through the cloud that comes down over your eyes after doing narcotics that somehow makes everything seem clearer. The sensousness of Salome, of things partially covered rather than being fully revealed. I loved this show. The slowed down dream like quality even when the actors were being manic. Sounds filtered through cotton candy. The sense of a moment lasting for eternity. I would have liked to stay in their world drifting a while longer.

5review = Brilliant performances make this esoteric script work beautifully. The play is basically a series of references to surrealist art and inside jokes about surrealists, and while it is extremely cleverly written, it would not captivated me without the dynamic performances of an ensemble cast who clearly reveled in the material. The wonderfully campy portrayals of such surrealist luminaries as Bunuel, Dali, and Tzara had me balled up with laughter. A must-see.

5review = Extremely creative story-- kind of like an acid trip in '20s Paris. Wonderful use of space and props. Entertaining, funny cast. Salvador Dali will crack your ass up
