The Motherf**ker With The Hat

This play is a modern masterpiece, and this production of it is a sheer delight. The acting is magnificent and the play touches on so many facets of modern life: friendship, loyalty, family, human frailty, and above all, love. How do we love one another despite our weaknesses? What's the nature of forgiveness? What's the truth and what's bullshit, and how do you tell the difference, in other people and in yourself? You owe it to yourself to see this performance. Don't miss it! It will make you laugh; it will break your heart a little -- it's the best of what theater can be. I can't thank these folks enough for giving me a night of theater I will never forget. My hat's off to you, one and all.... full review

Outstanding! An earthy, gritty and winning script that is well served by an excellent cast that is top-notch and perfect, and all enthralling to a heartfelt conclusion. Absolutely a must-see at the Fringe this year! And competes with the best anywhere! ... full review

This is a must see! Everyone was committed to playing on stage. This was such a beautiful piece on dysfunctional relationships that are brimming with love. And I really felt like I was in New York for a moment.... full review

A century and more after Gorky's THE LOWER DEPTHS here's its American cousin, an exhausting wallow in the pain of wasted lives, expertly engineered and even leavened with laughs. The "F" word flows as "trippingly on the tongue" as Elizabethan English did for Shakespeare's audience, so if the title makes you uncomfortable this ISN'T the play for you! But is there a better ensemble cast (3m/2f) in this entire Fringe season? (With 375 options, who can tell?) The acting is breath-taking (under the unerring eye of Director Tony Gatto, I'm sure), anchored by Jorge-Luis Pallo and Fayna Sanchez as the not-so-innocents, Nelson Delrosario, the serpent in their Garden of Hell, plus Libby Ewing (who left the audience cheering after her mid-show mono... full review

This show will blow you away. It might be my favorite show that I've seen in Los Angeles (and it's definitely my favorite show of Fringe). The cast will blow you away. They are all AMAZING. Do NOT miss this show. Get tickets while you can!... full review

Run, don't walk to see this. It is a dynamic theatre experience that showcases some truly talented actors who commit to the language of Stephen Adley Gurgis to the highest degree.... full review

been wanting to see this play since it was in New York and I thought it was very well performed by a group of terrific actors.... full review

As I'm writing this there are no performances left, which is sad for whoever is reading this who didn't catch it. Smart directing, wonderful actors, and a killer script. As much as the Fringe is a great place for unpublished new stuff, S.A.G. is one of my favorite playwrights and these artists were so smart to lean on his great writing. Funny and frustrating, the performances took a great script and broke your heart with it. ... full review
