White Wedding was such an uncommonly cool theatrical experience. Playing in the upstairs hallway of the Artscape Youngplace, this Toronto Fringe show is a site specific piece that used its space to its advantage. The show explores unrequited love, the ways in which nostalgia can affect our choices and memories, and whether or not love actually conquers all.
When you go into a show called Happy Family, you know right from the get go that it’s probably going to depict the exact opposite of that. Other Life Production’s show as a part of the Toronto Fringe Festival playing at the Franco Boni Theatre did not disappoint — it presented a deeply flawed unit teetering, as they said themselves, on the edge of something big. It left me pondering the lengths we go to in order to save, and sometimes sabotage, our families.
