For audiences who truly enjoy theatre, Bunbury is both a love letter and a thrill ride. Literary characters who never appear (Bunbury, Rosaline) lead us on a wild journey through centuries of literature, not only drama (Chekhov, Williams) but also novels (Flaubert) and poetry (Poe). The highlight of Godot actually showing up is only exceeded by the profound effect on real life in an ending that brings both laughter and tears. This play is especially wonderful for theatre audiences steeped in the classics, but it's so funny and accessible that everyone loves it. Our production got fantastic reviews.

I love BUNBURY by Tom Jacobson. The wit! The language! The deconstruction of literary characters! The deep meta-meditations on the meaning of fiction! And it's all so much fun. It's one of the shows that you can watch again and again, and get something new from it each time. It surprises you--and in doing so, it advocates for the true value of art in our 21st century world. We need BUNBURY: a time-traveling show with occasional iambic pentameter, a southern drawl or two, and the Man With the Lily. FIVE STARS!

I had the pleasure of seeing this play in person. It is so charming and delightful! It both honors the original source materials while also spinning them into directions you never would see coming! Wilde's Bunbury and Shakespeare's Rosaline teaming up to change the course of literature? Yes please! Highly recommend!
