21 Days (Bad Dress Productions) 2012 Toronto Fringe Review

2 Comments

Musicals sometimes get a bad rap for being overly campy with an extra side of cheese. Some are, and we love them for it, but others, like Bad Dress Productions’ Toronto Fringe feature 21 Days, prove that musical doesn’t have to equal camp to be successful.

With punchy, clever dialogue by Tabia Lau, 21 Days tells the story of Julie (played with great gusto by Elizabeth Conway), a young woman who was diagnosed with a strange and fatal disease at a very young age.

They want revenge, or recompense, or something… And they’re going to get it by stealing the very last story Fairy Godmother has, the very one she’s never told a living soul. Until now…

Neighbours (Mme. Fancy Pants Productions) 2012 Toronto Fringe Review

Absurdity with a political edge abounds in Mme. Fancy Pants Productions’ Neighbours, part of this year’s Toronto Fringe Festival and playing at the George Ignatieff Theatre.

The show centers on Rayyan, a young woman who is taken from her home one night by a good-cop/bad-cop team of interrogators. Rayyan is questioned, psychologically tested and threatened, because she is believed to be part of the Plums and possibly affiliated with certain violent, terrorist-equivalent activities.
