The Buzz That Is the Buzz
by Beau O’Reilly, Featuring Courtney Kearney, Matt Rieger, Beau O'Reilly, Kelly Anchors, Steve Lehman, and Jayita Bhattacharya
Fringe veteran Beau O'Reilly collaborates with the British playwright William Shakespeare on a tragic-comic tale of curiosity and betrayal, in which minds are altered by 'theMightyMindBlow', delusion leads to murder and a film-noir-like quest for revenge, with stops along the way for the perfect map and a new view of love.
"...O'Reilly mostly plays at the margins of absurdity, but lands inbounds with some of his characters--a disfigured Chicago cop, a gay map-seller, and a nervous, affectless thug (played by O'Reilly himself). Their scenes pop.”

"... Most successful are the two-person scenes that showcase intertwined characters: a bullied drug dealer who peddles “the mighty mind blow,” a nurse, a psychiatrist, the owner of an esoteric map store and a private detective with a disfigured face. Floating in and out of this mélange is Lord Agit (Jayita Bhattacharya, in a gothic and untethered performance), accompanied by anthropomorphic chickens."
