BEST OF THE FRINGE PICKS 2008

A true story by playwright, Martin Moran. Actor, Peter Hayes, of Hearts and Eyes Collective revisits the memories of a childhood interrupted; it's a story told with sensitivity, artistry, wisdom and astonishing candour. An oft travelled and roundabout journey of guilt, remorse, blame and forgiveness, painstakingly nuanced in its recollections. A one-of-a-kind performance. http://www.montrealfringe.ca/en/spectacles/the-tricky-part

Performance by jem rolls:
This is British wit in a class all its own! A poetic and philosophical cosmic rant, taking in this century’s consumer culture, the environment, poverty and affluence, supermarket queues, consumer packaging, sliced bread, big box stores, God and/or the absence of, the evolution and fate of the human race…and of the planet. Jem Rolls scrutinizes what is most simple and mundane, and from it he excavates a universe.

Michael Walsh was on his way home to New York City when his plane was rerouted to Gander, Newfoundland on September 11, 2001. In a performance that’s riveting as well as entertaining, he offers a moment-by-moment recollection of the ‘backstory’ to those momentous few days. Walsh is a great impersonator of the people he met during that time ‘in between.’ It’s a page in history, recreated as personal and collective theatre. http://montrealfringe.ca/en/spectacles/between-takeoff-and-landing


A modern-day mirror-image remake of Shakespeare’s classic, Macbeth. Superbly acted, full of suspense, mystery and intrigue. http://www.montrealfringe.ca/en/spectacles/beth

A retrospective speed trip through the 20th century and millennium, narrated via story, dance and song. Sizzling with energy; clever, inventive, entertaining and moving, as well as being absolutely hilarious. Jam-packed with anecdotal snippets of history and popular culture. A great collaborative performance from a super talented cast! http://montrealfringe.ca/en/spectacles/this-hour-has-88-years
