Preview: The Cure for Everything



Opening this coming week at Theatre Passe Muraille is a show Liza and I are both very excited about. It is a solo show called The Cure for Everything and it is supposed to be really amusing.


A sequel to the much adored You Fancy Yourself, The Cure for Everything is set in 1962 and tells more tales of endearing Elsa, a 14 year old from Edinburgh who is in the midst exploring her sexuality. This time around creator and performer Maja Ardal has chosen to juxtaposition the Cuban missile crises with Elsa's own personal conflicts. In an interview with NOW Magazine, Ardal says; "The Cuban missile crisis seemed like a good time to set the action. Just as the world is at the brink of complete chaos, so Elsa is at the brink of discovering her sexuality and what it means to be an adult". Set to the early tracks from The Beatles, this show sounds like the perfect theatre outing!
