Uneven
A good show is like a cake- all of the ingredients have to be in the right proportions. The acting was amazing, the humor was funny, and the absurd/minimalistic storytelling was expertly done. Unfortunately, these elements were unevenly spread out and often undercut each other. The pacing in the beginning was too slow for too long, making it difficult to get into the more zany parts once the show picked up. The humor undermines moments that otherwise would have been acted and paced emotionally. The show is not nearly as absurd or different as it promises to be. It's truly disappointing, given how likable and talented all of the performers are.

A Fast-Paced, Philosophical Adventure
It's as if the creators of the podcast "Welcome to Nightvale," the TV show "Phineas and Ferb," and Lemony Snicket all got together to discuss philosophy on a cross-country road trip! A zany, fast-paced, absurd romp, you'll be entranced from beginning to end. Not to mention, this show was one of the most creative uses of theater in the round I've ever seen! Lovers of audience-interactive theater- this is a show for you! Lovers of fast-paced, smart dialogue and infinitely quotable one-liners- this is a show for you! Lovers of meta-theater and self-aware stories- this is a show for you!

Show: Hamlet, but Hamlet's a Chicken

Bragging Rights for Shakespeare Lovers!
If there's one thing Shakespeare-lovers love to do it's brag about the strangest adaptations they've seen. This one will give you something to brag about for years! This is no one-trick pony show, either; each scene is as crazy, out-of-the-box, and unpredictable, yet perfectly orchestrated as the next. The actors KNOW how to act Shakespeare and they share they're love of the Bard with the audience. If you're looking for the most perfectly quintessential Fringe Fest show, look no further!
