Will Demer's Review of "I love you I hate you, shut up & tell me everything"
for Edge Media Network
"...The second performance I saw hit much harder: "I Love You. I Hate You. Shut Up And Tell Me Everything: My Trials, Tribulations And Total Lack of Understanding About Borderline Personality Disorder (A Semi Sometimes Sorta Sequel.)"... ...Lytle opens with an expository song, and launches into an exploration of childhood, relationships and alcoholism/drug abuse... ...frankly opens his heart and mouth about subjects many would leave in the back of their minds: Borderline personality disorder, alcoholism, and sexuality... ...having seen his considerable acting chops in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (Spectrum Theatre Ensemble), this is more than laying bare one's soul; it's a rough, frank, curse-laden exposition of humanity and its frailties... ...Brilliantly executed, even while reading questions from the audience off of notecards, he never seems false."

Plenty of meat on 'Sticks and Bones' by John Watters
"...Teddy Lytle fleshes out Ricky with a wide-eyed optimism fueled by his budding success as a pop music and movie star. He appears to be the shallowest of the characters with most of his lines and exchanges occuring as he is coming and going out the front door of his house. He has his fair share of the comedy that is certainly needed to lighten the play’s weighty subject matter and handles it quite well. In the end he too slips into the desperate depravity of his family trying to cope with his brother’s changes..." See full article here |
