BURNING HABITS: A Play

TimeOut

Burning Habits works by demented accumulation … The zany melodrama has an addictive rush; joining the fun leads to getting in the habit.”
The New York Times
The New York Times
“It may take a certain attitude to love Burning Habits: a childlike glee in seeing authority figures ridiculed; a thorough distaste for sexual hypocrisy and a strong aversion to organized religion. But if you have those, you will get a major kick out of ''Burning Habits.''

“Riveting … written with wry wit and acted to the hilt … drop your bad habits instantly and catch these instead.”

“… you'll find the troubled, oddly compassionate soul that was always at the core of the work of such first-rate camp artists as Charles Ludlam.”

“In dressing up despair in barbed frivolity, Mr. Fell provides his own skewed equivalent of tragic catharsis.”
Houston Chronicle
Houston Chronicle
“Wickedly funny!”

MADAME FURY: A Play

The New York Times
The New York Times
“Wildly amusing...”

“In 'Madame Fury, Mr. Fell provides some choice lines to a tyrannical, weight-obsessed ballet master based on George Balanchine, given to declarations like ‘What is a heart but an extra five pounds you should diet away?'’”

BEAUTY: a One Act Play

The New York Times
The New York Times
“The best pieces in Happy Endings are comic, beginning with the first, “Beauty,” Blair Fell’s ode to longing with a Proustian punch line. “True beauty lies not in actual life, but in memory,” says the Voyeur (David Johnston), who spends his time ogling a hilariously desultory “erotic” dancer (Joe Curnutte), dressed in white knee socks and red gym-class shorts.”

NAKED WILL: A Play

Next Magazine
“Fell brilliantly proves the secret pan sexual world of classic literature … Shall I compare thee to Shakespeare in Love. If Shakespeare in Love is the moon, Naked Will is the sun. This production shines.”
Curtain Up
“Fell brilliantly applies his ‘treatment’ to produce an expansive, funny yet surprisingly intelligent and complete staging of the [Shakespeare] debate.”
First New York Workshop, directed by Blair Fell
