Tonight/Jungle

Thought-provoking

January 31st, 2016

See it if You are a fan of one-acts and would appreciate the experience of really getting inside a character's head.

Don't see it if You aren't into dark pieces. Also cues for "Donny Stix" in particular were a bit off (stage management wise- since the other play was good).

See it if you want to beautifully-executed monologue plays from a macabre, compassionate, and subversive genius

Don't see it if you would maybe rather something less frightening

Great acting, Intense, Searing

February 3rd, 2016

See it if you live for searing drama. You're so close to the actor she looks you right in the eye at her most vulnerable — and most aggressive

Don't see it if you can't deal with the realities of child prostitution, poverty and mental health.

Entertaining, Clever, Edgy, Intense, Thought-provoking

See it if You like intense plays showing lots of emotions.

Don't see it if You are not ready for emotions, rants, outbursts and some sad stories. It's not a happy ever after fairytale.

He endows his blighted characters with an instinctive gift for poetry that gropes for patterns in a random and unforgiving universe.....

"Gut-bustingly intense due to two ferociously good performances…Farmer and Kerr both deliver visceral, breathtaking portrayals of Donny's and Andrea's tortured psyches…Ridley is good at nudging audiences out of their comfort zones....Though Kerr infuses her performance with more humor than Farmer...

"While a little bit less confrontational, in the capable hands of brilliant actor Harry Farmer and actress Robyn Kerr, these plays are no less visceral. Though they are totally self-contained and appear on separate nights, the two plays have many things in common...Their nuanced, layered performa...

"'Tonight with Donny Stixx' and 'Dark Vanilla Jungle' are plays about obsession and attention in the world wide web world. Both characters crave to be noticed through the haze of artificial likes and retweets masquerading themselves as connection...This is a solid collection of monologues worth c...
