Fringe has started and I’ve already got two plays under my belt. I do have a goal now though: I only saw her from a distance and couldn’t leave my spot in the line, but I really want to find out what play the woman dressed as a dominatrix was representing. Don’t tell me if you know, this is the kind of information I want to find out personally.

“Matt and Ben”

Well, every Fringe needs at least one drag show…
This was well done and had good humor. I think Jocelyn did a better job of portraying Ben than Belinda did of Matt. I felt the former acted (and looked) more like a guy would. I liked the name dropping and hints of the future sprinkled throughout. “I really love latino women.” (7 out of 10)

‘B’, or, Unless You Steal Her Pen!

This was the debut piece for the writer/director and you can see the rough edges. It’s amusing at times, but some of the jokes seem a little forced. My biggest problem was that there was smoking almost constantly throughout. I’ve been spoiled with anti-smoking legislation, so I found it annoying. In its defense, it is appropriate for a period piece. (4 out of 10)
