RE:a slice of fulfillment at the Fringe
A wonderful, nearly hour-long story beautifully told. At Fringe Fests, make sure you have time to seek out a show like this -- you may want shock, schlock, jock, and frocks at other Fringe entries -- but also seek fulfillment in a well-told story. The artist has an incredible narrative, with smooth creamy words, then fast-paced cadences, and heartfelt gestures. I could listen and watch this author and performer for many hours. I was hesitant to see this show as its title suggested a mild tearjerker, but its a joyful journey. I learned that Mom had a string of seven dogs all named Prince.
