Yikes. I saw this yesterday, coming in with rock bottom expectations, but unable to resist the possibility that it may have something interesting to contribute, but it's an unmitigated disaster. I left 15 minutes in (and had the awkward moment of trying to exit house left, finding my path behind the seating blocked, and having to sort of make my way into the wings to exit without crossing the stage). I've seen over 40 shows so far this Fringe, and have patiently sat through many productions that in my view weren't ready for an audience, but this was unique in its utter disdain for its audience. This is such an insult to the hardworking creatives at the festival who genuinely want to entertain or enlighten people, and for the people like myself who pay to see them.
