Play: The Fall and Rise of the Rising Fallen

Their run is over now, so you totally missed out. Once again BB&B managed to entertain, amuse, and disturb in a hauntingly grotesque and poetically absurdist way that only they can. Brilliant sound, mezmerizing dance and movement, tragic and ridiculous fairy tale. More please.

this is disgustingly intelligent work and it takes about 20 minutes to realise that you're not going to see anything like this again and you want to go back and watch it again immediately cos shows like this don't come around very often. superb performances and an incredibly original piece. the dialogue is jaw-dropping at times.

Just like buttermilk , this isn't going to be everyone's fluid of choice ...and fluid this definitely is as is took quite awhile for me to get a sense of what was going on. But once I got connected , the show worked and by the ending I was completely involved. If you're already a fan of Banana , Bag and Bodice you're going to go to see what they're up to next. If you're new , this is going to be somewhat abstract stuff to get a grip on. Just go with it and let the "plot" develop over time. Neat show if you like buttermilk.

It made noise that turned into something hard and willing. Did I like it? I liked how I didn't not like it to the point of liking it before the climactic ending even stopped. It was hard for me because of personal things, but decisive. The day I saw it I had trouble seeing because of eye surgery, but it made sense when they got real close to me, which I think was a trick my eyes were playing on my visual perameters, because of the surgery. Either way, top notch.

Chaotic and purposefully opaque, but nonetheless interesting as an experiment. Describing (what I think is) the plot to my cohorts made them laugh. I thought the acting was competent. It's real problem was that the narrative was so deconstructed that it was hard to follow. I don't mind stuff like that but for people who need plot spoon-fed to them, you might want to choose easier fare. I like it most cuz it makes fun of pretentious self-referential indie rockers, whom I loathe.

Pretty riveting! Exciting! Awesome word work and really interesting physical nibblets. Dave Malloy is a genius. I missed Jason, Jessica and Heather, but this extravaganza is certainly that. See it.

Skip this one! From the way they handled the props you would have thought it was their first rehearsal. Where was the director? Overacting ,especialy by the women. Absolutely made no sense, people yelling over the lines of others, frenzy for frenzy sake. Çould hardly sit through it. Nothing inovative or creative or entertaining.
