“ It delves expertly into the childhood mind and winds up funny, heartfelt, and moving. A hidden gem of this year’s Fringe.”
-Lexical Lunacy Fringe Reviews
“The audience easily relates to the two brothers, seeing reflections of our own childhood relationships in theirs, without sacrificing the historic tone of the story or its value as a reimagining of a historic event. The production is playfully anachronistic…If I Live Until I Be A Man is original and witty, and the actors bring all the energy and imagination of youth, with moments of real tenderness between the characters.”
“An excellent mixture of claustrophobic playtime and an uncertain future, performed with a child-like sense of fun and fear – it’s a clever, inventive idea that works very well.”
