I Know You Guys (1/1 people found this helpful)
Adam and Professor Winfield (Jess).....
I took a group of students (gad! i'm an actual "english" teacher) to London last year and we saw the play at the Criterion. Imagine my surprise and chagrin when I noticed who the playwrights were. So sorry it took me 10 years. The play was hilarious; the kids were delighted; I remain mightily impressed. Now I realize why the action reminded me of both Python and Marcine Solariz's(sp) Readers' Theatre.
Bravo!
I'll be back in London this summer, and I'll be attending one of your shows again.
Encore!
Much love,
Jamie
IT MADE ME THE HAPPIEST PERSON FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS (2/2 people found this helpful)
I am an actor and I have been doing the show (Adam's parts) since November 1996 and I have to say that I have never been so happy in my life!!! And mainly because it is the first time a show stays on for so long in Portugal, which means that thanks to Daniel, Adam and Jess I am now part of the Portuguese Theatre History!!! Thank you and congratulations to the three of them!!! And to all readers: if you have not read this masterpiece, do it now!!! If you have not seen the show: come to Lisbon and you'll have a laugh!!! And we too!!!
The Funniest Thing Since Python (0/0 people found this helpful)
I have been a lover of Shakespeare all of my life, and I am the first to admit that when I was told by my loved ones that I was about to go see this show, I was extremely skeptical. Needless to say, my stomach was aching from laughter within the first ten minutes of this wonderful three man act. This is without a doubt, the funniest performance I have ever witnessed on or off stage. Bravo, to Adam, Jess, and Daniel for writing this unbelievably hilarious play.
Great for creative, dramatic performers! (0/0 people found this helpful)
I am an actor and performer in high school and I often compete in the literary circuit. This piece alone has won me several awards. I recommend it to any aspiring actors who need a piece to start on or any established actors who need something new. It is also great for an entertaning read or for high school Shakespeare students who need a new twist on the Bard (especially the view of Hamlet as a meat allegory!)
