To become the woman she is today, local writer/performer Nina Arsenault underwent 60 surgeries – some of them under pretty sketchy circumstances. In her autobiographical solo show, based on a series of columns she wrote for Fab, she addresses why she went to such extremes.
The obsession to have a child leads down the path of madness in Rocking The Cradle, Des Walsh’s adaptation of Federico García Lorca’s Yerma.
In Talking Masks, playwright Adam Seelig weaves together two eons-old myths, one Biblical, one classical: Abraham and his sons, and Oedipus and his mother/wife. The clever result is big on wordplay and the knotty connections, sometimes sexual, between parent and child.
Call it Hogtown snobbery. Usu?ally successful shows will begin in Toronto and travel to places like Hamilton, not the other way around.
