PREVIOUS PRESS FOR DEAD BROKE (2022 Toronto fringe)

“King’s script brims with dark comedy and is exhilaratingly taut — the 60-minute play is filled with more twists and turns than you can count — without ever compromising character development.” "A must-see event for any fan of the horror genre." “Top Pick!” - Joshua Chong (Toronto Star)

"A naturalistic Gen Z drama meets a low-budget horror property in Will King’s fresh and inventive new play, one of the most pleasant surprises at the Fringe." "From the start, King and director Calvin Petersen do such a good job setting up Oliver’s situation – and the actors are so fully present in their roles – that you’re drawn in and care about what happens to everyone. The show is so effective that when a character looks out into the audience and mentions something on the wall, you’ll believe it’s there." "This is terrific theatre, full of committed, fresh performances." “NNNN” - Glenn Sumi (Now Magazine)

"Dead Broke is a tightly structured, fun horror story with some great plot turns and excellent practical effects." "King’s dedication to genre theatre is always a breath of fresh air and this is his most accessible work yet." “A-” grade! - Kelly Bedard (My Entertainment World]

“This play does a fabulous job at building suspense and then releasing it with laughter; this ebb and flow takes you on a twisty, other-worldly journey along with the characters that’ll have you on the edge of your seat!” - Janine Marley (A View from the Box)

“Dead Broke is a highly creative and fun first effort, making the Lost Dreams Collective one to watch this year and keep your eye on for what’s to come!” - Robyn Grant-Moran (Parton and Pearl)

“Absurdly glorious!” “Dead Broke really tickled me. It’s an ideal Fringe treat.” - Istvan Dugalin

“I was blown away by King’s first play From the Water in December 2018, amazingly good for a first play. This one is better… Every word counts.” “Totally enjoyable, very cool.” - Leslie Barcza
