Konstandin Normandeau review: ‘unfunny’ 03/03/2017

"I am not really sure if it’s worth recounting the plot because, well, I’m not convinced that there was one."

"My grandiose acts, they think unnecessary. My mission barking up the wrong tree. They despise my brashness. And I despise it too." - K. Normandeau

Konstandin Normandeau review: ‘unfunny’ The play actually had the potential to be really funny; had it taken the mickey out of its pomposity, it might have worked.

Review: Konstandin Normandeau | The Bubble 03/03/2017

"Maybe Konstandin Normandeau is not ready for the world. Or maybe the world is not ready for Konstandin
Normandeau."

"Hahaha - I shall create 1000 more paradoxes that this theory might be well tested!" - K. Normandeau
