Clever premise, but rough and slow
The story's premise is clever and along with its message ( it does have one ) there was enough to carry me along. The show starts very slow, although the action and laughs do pick up as the show progresses. But If you saw the preview performance you've already seen the only really funny bit of the performance. Some actors dropped their lines but most put some real heart into their performance. All-in-all this is part of fringe: not quite polished, not quite done, not quite there. I was just hoping for a bit more.

The best of fringe
Is it just me or is Fringe particularly brilliant this year? I've been seeing some wonderful shows. But this play might be my vote for the very best of Fringe. Touching and heartfelt story. A lovely message. A clever premise. Perfect acting. Hilarious script. A must see.

Broadway Show? Could Be
I could imagine this was a Broadway show. It was that good. Wonderful script, original musical compositions, perfect acting, magically funny performance. Kudos to the entire cast and the production team.

Show: The Abortion Chronicles
Venue: Rarig Kilburn Theatre
Just excellent
This play is absolutely true to its description: a series of true stories filling an entire hour of thought-provoking drama. All of the stories are absorbing. And many of the stories describe situations you may never have imagined. But what will probably surprise you most is how brilliantly it's all done. Kudos to the cast and writers that fill a solid hour with both education and interesting drama. I was just riveted to my seat and hanging on every word.

This show is amazing
I saw the 3 minute preview performance for this show and knew I had to see it. It did not disappoint. Excellent script, energetic acting, spot on Fargo-esque accents of rural Minnesotans, and relatable and likeable characters. I loved it.

Amazingly fun Star Wars - Hamlet mashup
Every so often, I see a fringe show that isn't just great; It's a wow! This is a wow. Take an amazing, energetic, acrobatic cast, a brilliant and funny script, clever costumes and puppetry and what do you get? You get WOW. The action is fast. The timing is perfect. I think this play shows us the best in what fringe comedy can be.
