Bruce Burwell: “The thing that keeps us engaged throughout is John Michael’s sincerity. You don’t run around a stage in your underwear holding a picture of your dead mother unless you really miss her. So we do believe that he needs her back.”
Gauthier and Caplan: “Macho competition, absurd immaturity, touching emotion, all displayed through incredible movements. This show stays with you—you’ll find yourself turning over moments in your mind hours or even days later. This is definitely another Fringe favourite for me.”
Julia Bueneman: “I can only imagine that this show will get all the more silly and precise as the Fringe goes on and no iteration will ever be exactly the same—it was lovely to witness their first show.”
Barbara Popel: “On opening night, the audience gave the two performers a standing ovation. As their target audience of young and young-ish folks who are serial daters finds them, I predict this will be a regular occurrence.”
Barbara Popel: “Rob Gee uses his considerable talents and his 12 years of experience as a psychiatric nurse to bring us into the world of dementia sufferers, their families, and their caregivers. As CBC Manitoba said, it’s ‘as funny—and heartbreaking—as hell.’”
Jessica Bueneman: “A great juxtaposition of solitude and togetherness, this piece choreographed by Alya Graham is separated in two parts: the solo and the duet.”
