Don't Miss This Gem!
I've seen about 15 Fringe shows so far and this is only the second one I'd give five stars to. The script, acting, and staging were superb. It's getting my vote for the Best of Fringe. What a wonderful trip down memory lane for me, yet I think younger people will also appreciate learning what a comic genius and wonderful person Gilda Radner was.

A Good Intro to the Poetry of Robert Service
If you like the poetry of Robert Service, or want to be introduced to it, then this show is for you, as it was for me. It runs 45-50 minutes and I wish he had spent 5 more minutes giving us more of Service's biography than he did. That said, the readings were well done and the costume and props were very nice.

A Great Show for Fans of John Berryman
I am a big fan of John Berryman's poetry and I knew a little about his life. This show added a lot to my appreciation of him. But none of his poetry is read during the show (which didn't bother me; that was not the show's purpose), but I wonder how someone unfamiliar with him would react to this show. Hopefully it would make them want to explore more.
