The winter that would never end is finally (hopefully) over! So why not put a little spring in your step with a little Cheap Theatre? This week, we’re focusing on a series of shows being put on by The Playwright Project. Each year, the Project chooses a playwright, and brings his or her works to different neighbourhoods in Toronto. This year, they’re taking over the Danforth with the plays of British playwright Caryl Churchill, whose work has been described as “subversive, controversial, and constantly pushing the limits of dramatic writing”. For as little as $10 a pop, you can’t go wrong with The Playwright Project.
