Fringe Festival 2009, Part 2

How is this for pressure? Instead of movie night, I thought going to see a fringe play with my friends would be a better idea. I had an idea of what would be a good play, so I recommended that one and made a plan to see it.
Twelve other people went with my recommendation. I enjoyed the play, but I kept hoping all these people I dragged to it would also like it.

Space (7.5 out of 10)
Style: Traditional play
I really enjoyed this. There have been other plays that are more moving, but this one was a comedy that didn’t take itself seriously. It was really low on plot, and more focussed on having fun. i.e. Check your brain at the door. And I think they added an extra subplot just to allow the use of special effects on the robot.

Totem Figures (7 out of 10)
Style: Autobiographical
TJ Dawe isn’t as funny as he used to be. But he is more thought provoking. I saw a late night show after a long run so I wasn’t paying as close attention as I would have liked. This is still a good play and you get some good insight into who he is. Bonus: You learn how he got his name.

Grimmer than Grimm (6.5 out of 10)
Style: ADD Skits
I’m probably giving this a lower rating than it deserves. I had dragged a dozen people to see this, so I was more critical of all of its faults. I liked it, but there were a few slower parts that dragged on a bit. But they did their job of graphically portraying the worst of the Grimm’s fairy tales.
