Pure Genius,
By Siobhain (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ugly Man (Prairie Play, No. 13) (Paperback)
This is the first of Brad Fraser's plays that I have read. As soon as I read The Ugly Man I became entranced by Brad's complexity, and willingness to be different. I feel that this willingness to go againsed the social norm by producing such a controversial, yet masterful piece of work without restraints or care for what people think make it a one of a kind play. It is raw human emotion at it's best and is full of non stop suprises. The plot is eerie, and leaves you with an appetite for more. Good work Brad!

Fraser packs some punch,
This review is from: The Ugly Man (Prairie Play, No. 13) (Paperback)
I began reading Fraser's work for a drama independent study I was dreading to do. I imediately began to become igrossed into "Ugly Man" as well as many of his plays. He writes complex, yet somehow easy to follow plots, interesting Characters with varying sides to each of them and overall, this play will leave you breathless and make you keep on wanting more.
