Review Questions

Your Review	The biggest problem was that others had recommended it highly and it was quite disappointing. Very silly, not much plot, should have toned it down a bit and made it a kids' show.
Would Recommend?	Not Likely
Who Would Enjoy?	Young Adults

Your Review	What a delightfully quirky piece of work! The strangeness began the moment we walked into the theatre and never stopped. The "mime" was very, very funny. The curtain was lovely! The actors worked together very well. I would recommend this for anyone who likes Andy Kauffman style humor.
Would Recommend?	Absolutely!
Who Would Enjoy?	Young Adults • Older Adults

Review Questions

Your Review	I had no idea what to expect when I sat down for this play. I could have never anticipated what was about to happen. From the audience stroking their wooden frogs in unison to Gustave & Nhar completing each other in a bizarre tale of memory loss and running for your life....it was all so ridiculously enticing. The plot wasn't all that great but the performers make up for it by making us laugh until it hurts.
Would Recommend?	Yes, Probably
