Toronto Fringe - Wierd: Witches of MacBeth

Incredible interpretation of the Witches scene from MacBeth. Very talented ladies, so believable as Witches and delivering complex dialogue while performing aerial acrobatics. Sort of Cirque meets Shakespeare. Highly recommended.

Toronto Fringe - Inch of Your Life: Episode 1

Great ensemble. Interesting characters and I loved the way the story unfolded in vignettes, crashing together in the end. Can't wait for episode 2.

Toronto Fringe - Instagraham

OK, so now I want to get an Instagram account so I can also start sharing the wierd and wonderful things we see every day, but sadly I won't have Graham's witty commentary.

Toronto Fringe - Life After

Excellent coming of age musical featuring a father/daughter relationship. Wonderful show, awesome score, perfectly cast with strong performances all around. Another show you should book now because the buzz will sell it out.

Toronto Fringe - Scenes From Plays I Never Wrote

Imagine a writer, blocked and despondent, given one last chance to finish a script. Great foil for the dexterity of the actors, jumping from plot to plot. The actors playing the conscience and the female lead of the play within the play were outstanding.

Toronto Fringe - How Do I Mate You

Not being a big fan of game shows, I am probably not a good judge of this play - a deliberately confrontational couples game show, with all the usual twists and turns, bad behaviour, etc that you would expect couples with low EQ to exhibit. While there are some good gags, it doesn't quite hit the mark.

Toronto Fringe - Peter vs Chris

What more can we say about Peter and Chris. With a loyal following, this symbiotic duo are all-in for their performance, and they are not above abusing their audience in a way that makes us love them even more! Another show we expect to be sold out early.
