Edinburgh Fringe Festival audience reviews:
Ironic fantasy about iconic place 21 Aug 2006
reviewer: Lucie and Flo, United Kingdom
Interesting, fascinating and fun! Fringe virgins that we are, we hadn't
pre-booked what we wanted to see in time, so selected this and it was
great. Interactive but not in a scary way! Thought-provoking and funny.
We had a good audience who contributed well. Go and see it!
Really different! 17 Aug 2006
reviewer: Ben Harper, United Kingdom
This one's well worth it. Really smart, astute and fun. If you're interested
in democracy, this'll confirm your worst fears of the corporate future
... Check it out for sure.
