SNAFU
From the co-creator of Interstellar Elder (5 STARS) & Little Orange Man (5 STARS).
Meet the middle child. The peacemaker. Squished between. Easily overlooked… and the siblings who refuse to let the story be told alone.
Three Bouffon clowns crawl from the wreckage of childhood to reenact, distort and delight in the chaos that made them.
With physical comedy and warped nostalgia, they conjure the mythic worlds of sibling rivalry. A how-to-guide for surviving childhood, put through the blender.
Sharp, silly and strangely heartfelt — you’ll laugh, squirm and recognize the monsters in your own family
Caught this show on Monday with our adult grandkids. We all really enjoyed it. The topic is well thought through and presented in a very entertaining way. Obvious chemistry between the actors helps as this story moves along quickly even with big time jumps between events. Definite should be on your to see list.
Weird and funny and heartfelt. The three principals draw the audience into their unique family dynamic. Blurring the lines between reality and fantasy – never sure if it’s autobiographical, or fiction, it doesn’t matter. Aspects of the sibling dynamic whether you are an eldest, youngest or middle child rings true. An entertaining and beautiful 50 minutes.
This show is absolutely phenomenal, wasn’t expected something with the genre of CLOWN be so profoundly relatable and human. and super funny, all actors are so great with physical comedy.
I try to see anything SNAFU brings to Fringe. This was absolutely perfect, telling the story of the disappearing middle child in a way I could never have imagined.
