FURNITURE BOYS was reviewed by The Guardian with a glowing 4-star review for its debut run at Ed Fringe. The Guardian calls FURNITURE BOYS: “Ridiculous and revelatory”; “witty… ingenious”; “shimmeringly silly’; “Weitzman’s show keeps revealing hidden depths.”
The Guardian writes: “She also achieves a feat that many fringe comedians don’t manage as she makes a whole out of familiar elements… It is a very well-made play.”
