Review of Kate Smurthwaite: Severe Lacerations to the Head, Fringe 2025

August 15, 2025 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Kate talks about the state of the world, and how she – and the rest of us – are getting through it. With laughs, and a bit of direction when it comes to what the f*ck to do about it.

Review: Encounter, Fringe 2025

Wearing a tin foil hat, I was taken on a hilarious intergalactic adventure with “Encounter: A Space Cabaret.” This sci-fi musical comedy is a delightful and unique Fringe gem that perfectly blends fun with surprising depth. Highly recommended!

Review: Lovett, Fringe 2025

BoonDog Theatre’s “Lovett” is a hardcore, dark psychological thriller that offers a fresh take on the Mrs Lovett character. The one-woman show, in the Pleasance Courtyard cellar, is an intense look at a villain’s history and a must-see for fans of Sweeney Todd.
