5review = Opening night was a fresh frenzy of fun and like no other show that I am aware of. This play has the outstanding potential for lots of success. The writing provided me with more than an intellectual stimulus because if you listen closely, you'll be hip to lots of great names mentioned in text, ex. William Walker Atkinson- The Force!!
It surely rests upon the name of the play being somewhat tongue twisting. Actors, Lead on! Bring it on, as you were. The Ladies are succulent, sexy, sensational, so go!

5review = lots clever chaos, and far out situations
(like fairies getting blasted by ATF agents),
combined with slapstick humor and a cool
electronic sound track. definitely fresh!

5review = Very clever....funny....acting had its good points and bad....fairies were fun....the play brought about some hardy laughs from the audience. I have to laugh when think of the two brothers tied together. The music was great....it was fun...

5review = Absurd theatre done absurdly. Stringing images and words together does not an Ionesco make. Couldn't understand a lot of dialogue, due to the mumbling of many actors, or cringed at the overacting of others. If David lynch directed Community Theatre by way of Dr. Suess (all that rhyming!) I like the original music, although having it throughout was a detriment since most actors could barely be heard(and I was in the second row). Maybe You have to be a friend of the people involved to "get it" but the wall of attitude eminating from the stage was impenetrable.

Rating: None
Review: It leaves you wondering.."What the f*ck!" Very original, intelligent (although sometimes a bit over your head.) Comedic, good use of colors on stage. Acting a bit lacking (some parts).

Review: Very random. Short. Entertaining. A tad chaotic yet amusing. He seemed like alot of inside jokes strung together. Yet - the metaphors on todays sexual tendencies &/or misunderstandings were portrayed well. I liked it - could use some practice...

Review: The play while somewhat incomprehensible had a joke for many was a slightly insane story of Doris Dinghy. Right on Chales, It ripped on a play and laughed my ass off.
