WANT MORE FRINGE?
A lot of thoughts.
How cruel.
How … not inspirational… but provocative?
The red-haired man with the suspenders worried that the interview was the prank is the kind of danger I feel this show represented.
I loved “Abby’s better than this.”
I think this was just absurdism + current events (two things that are easy to hate, so well done, I guess)
The interviews made the piece watchable.
It would’ve been much better if they hadn’t been wearing masks; masks erase half of the reactions. 🙁
This form of theatre is now coined “Fringe Cringe.” Thanks, I’ll be here all week.
