5review = The actors were highly skilled. The writing
was highly polished. The equation was more
than the sum of these talented individuals,
which produced a magickal dynamic on stage that
carried the vulnerability and humor
of the work. I enjoyed it.
- Andy and Eve Petersen did a wonderful job with Jack The Ripper Slept
Here-- funny, clever and engaging. They were great fun to watch, and the
audience interaction made a very well-written piece even better!

5review = One of the stronger pieces I sampled. The script is loopy fun,
and both performers boast a simple, unaffected charm.

5review = Loved it!!! Entertaining and funny. Great use of audience throughout
the performance. Really made me think about the complexty of the performance
and how much deeper one can experience a body of work with a litle creativity
on the part of the writer and actors. A well-performed piece.

5review = Excellent actors, but mediocre play. Many potential plot threads,
but no development. Little humor, little intellectual stimulation. Nothing
challenging. Can't imagine why this play was so well reviewed elsewhere.
I'd rather hate a play than be bored by it, especially at the Fringe!

5review = Best laugh riot among those we saw: "Jack the Ripper Slept
Here." A whimsical and absurd comedy involving physics, the classics
and plenty of rats and alligators, and probably the only play ever to refer
to the Nobel award as a "consolation prize for not being a stewardess."
Andy Peterson and Eve Smyth played the characters brightly.

5review = What some guys won't do for a date. Meet Manheim Mantolini: king
of an elaborate sewer system, master of an army of rats and alligators
trained to take over the world, and an eligible bachelor. When he crosses
paths with the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Alice Watson, things get curiouser
and curiouser. With a nod toward "Alice in Wonderland," this
is a thoroughly enjoyable - if often absurd - romp through the topics of
love, fame and self-discovery. Superb acting by Eve Smyth and Andy Peterson.
- 1play = Jack the Ripper Slept Here
2name = John Longenbaugh
3email = Seattle Weekly
4rating = 5 Stars
5review = The latest exercise in gentle absuridty from this San Francisco-based
couple has little to do the Jack the Ripper but much to do with the mysterious
world that lies beneath what we know, a world honeycombed with a Transcontinental
Sewer System, hordes of alligators and rats, and a strange little man who's
looking for love to fall in through a manhole cover. As with much of their
work, there's an odd melancholia to all this silliness. There is a very
real gem of truth here about the need for people to overcome disappointment
and try again.
