←Recommendations of A Fairy Tale

Carrie Barrett has created a truly unique world that I would love to see explored on stage. Lots of room for creative design and staging choices.

Terrific insight into depression, fast food and the trappings that come from this corporate takeover spun in a fun way. Well done.

Such a recognizably plastic world, Barrett lets the wackiness drive us thru the dark bleak lonely suicidal possibilities here, so that we can manage the darkness in the blinding fluorescence of Fast Food! Kudos!

We all want to kick things off with reality TV and takeout. This play was fun and quirky--a welcome break from the usual--and yet, there was heart and a notable amount of sadness. I enjoyed the theatricality of this one. And I especially loved the Chicken.

An inspiring and surprising fantasy about heartbreak, survival, and the numbing power of pop corporate fast food.

Carrie Barrett mixes comedy, sadness, desperation, and 11 other herbs & spices in to create a thoughtful and satisfying piece.

This play is not only funny, but thoughtful - and sad. And imaginative. It's wacky, weird, other worldly, but also full of heart and emotion. It's so good. By a playwright who deserves to be produced everywhere.

Colonel's Chicken: A Fairy Tale is a funny and theatrical fantasia with a wonderful heart, and makes this vegetarian crave chicken.

This hilarious play manages to combine fast food, depression, and fairy tales. Carrie Barrett manages to take a protagonist who feels stuck and make her plight active. An imaginative and inventive play that, yes, will leave you wanting fried chicken.

Carrie Barrett succeeds in dramatizing the least dramatic of human tragedies: suffering depression. She transforms an experience of boredom and emptiness into an epic journey in a surreal world, where small steps toward reclamation take on the grand significance that often goes unseen in our daily lives. Also, it's funny as hell. (Warning: you will desire much chicken upon reading.)
