Premiering this Friday, July 6th and playing through July 15th (full schedule below), Living Will is one of 159 plays taking part in this year’s Toronto Fringe Festival.

A theme you will find in my reviews of Luminato shows is that I tend to feel like the festival is not really for me. I have fairly conventional theatre taste and fairly passive political beliefs (at least among the liberal consensus of my community) so Luminato’s artsy, brazen, avant-garde vibe is really just not […]
Right up front, I have to say that this was one of my least favourite Bachelor Scales to put together.

You ought to have seen this excellent female-led sci-fi adventure in theatres because it deserves as big a screen as possible but Alex Garland’s a great filmmaker whose […]
