5review = Amazing costumes! My favorite was the tiger bodysuit with the tacky hip-belt. An entertaining comedy duo with an outrageous story and ridiculous characters. If you are a fan of camp, you'll love this! My favorite part was when they broke character in an insult-jab-snippy-comment-war that seems to be ongoing. Rhoda is incredible.

5review = “Thicker Than Water” is a genuine heart-felt drama of a family during crisis. The connections between the characters were both believable and inspired. Excellent acting all around; the tight cast made the situations both realistic and emotional. The play ends, within the confines of the Fringe’s “no longer than an hour” regulations, at a fevered pitch, which leaves the audience desiring more. The unresolved nature of the end of the play gave it great strength, and left me (and I’m certain many more in the audience as well) running through the different possibilities that might have followed the play’s ending point. For everyone who enjoys drama, and would like to see some excellent character exploration, I recommend this play. Whether you have suffered the pains of the passing of loved ones or not, there is plenty in this play to relate to no matter who you are, or what your own personal family history has been.

5review = A true to life tale of the circumstances
surrounding a family as they lose a loved one.
It's a moving drama with a touch of
humor to lessen the blow of such a painful
situation.

5review = truly moving drama about a family that reunites and is forced to confront the issues surrounding the death of its patriarch. the future looks bright for this young playwright.

4rating = 4 Stars
5review = A well-written drama about the tensions which
arise in a family when a daughter returns home
because of the imminent death of her father.
The conflict between the daughter and her
brother (who had to give up his life to care
for Dad) is very good.

5review = A dull, uninspired play, poorly written and horribly directed. It's on the level of a good high-school production.... and it made it's stage time seem like hours... ouch !! Miss this one....
