In some rare cases, a decision to share tales of one's past can give the audience a theatrical experience that it will remember far after the last bow. Qurrat Ann Kadwani's solo piece 'They Call Me Q' is one of those shows.
There is a lot to like in this play and there are ample opportunities for future development. It's also noteworthy for two stellar performances by Jen Bevan and Tina Ghandchilar.
While the adaptation of the classic tale is not particularly inspiring, this show is one to see for the creative staging and design work as well as a talented group of actors led by the extraordinary Alex Mills.
There are many shows to catch in this year's Fringe festival, but 'Arlington National Cemetery: My Forever Home' and 'Impossible To Translate, But I'll Try: True-Life Israeli Stories' are ones you should check out.
If you need one reason to see this show it is Susan Marie Rhea's performance as grieving mother Becca. It's simply one of the best acting performances I've seen all season.
