+1 Sword is a critical hit!
Okay, maybe we didn't roll a natural 20, but we've certainly had a couple of great reviews.
Richard Watts, arts critic, fellow geek and Man About Town, reckons it provides "plenty of laughs" in his first round of Fringe reviews, and awards us three stars. Meanwhile, over on Buzzcuts, Andrew Erlanger's audio review calls +1 Sword an "hilariously geeky journey", while the punters he interviewed after commented that it was "highly entertaining" and one "laughed so much my jaw hurt". Both point out that no prior knowledge is required to enjoy the frivolity!
So if you feel like taking 3 points of damage to your jaw, get along and see +1 Sword for one of our final three shows this Fringe season. There are still tickets available for all the remaining performances, but it's a small venue so if you want to be sure you don't miss out, we'd encourage you to book via Fringe Tix.
+1 Sword – only +1 week left!
We're halfway through the world premiere* of +1 Sword, and a whole bunch of Melbournian adventure seekers have made it through their first dungeon. There are only four performances left for this run, so if you want to get your geek on, you'd better book some tickets and come join us!
*This is technically true, but it does sound a bit wanky, doesn't it?
+1 Sword – tonight!
It's time to don your Invulnerable Coat of Arnd and pull a few gold pieces out of your bag of holding, because +1 Sword opens tonight. Come on down to Caz Reitops Dirty Secrets and discover the joyful geekery of Dungeons & Dragons through the eyes of Richard and Ben!
