Shows to check out this weekend...

It is the final weekend for two of our favourite show of the year so far. We wanted to encourage you to check out:

first...



Brothel #9 @ Factory Theatre

Brothel #9 is a captivating and very affecting piece of theatre. A powerful and riveting performance by the playwright herself, Anusree Roy, along with strong performances from the entire cast make this an important see. Roy will blow you away. Seriously. We also must swoon over the set design by Shawn Kerwin. Her choices are simply brilliant.

And for our favourite show so far this year...




SPIN, by Evalyn Parry.

What can we say? This show will make you very, VERY happy. Evalyn is beyond charming, you will seriously want to befriend her immediately after viewing this piece, and her show is simply amazing. Seriously folks, you have to go and see it!!! Liza and I have been gushing about the show since we saw it last week and we really urge you to check out this weekend! Only 3 more days as well!

Opening this week is a show that Liza and I have been desperately waiting for all winter! We saw Evalyn Parry perform in the fall at an appreciation gathering for Kyle Rae. We instantly knew we liked her and both of us couldn't wait to see her again. Her show SPIN opens this week at Buddies and we have heard nothing by glowing things about it.

Show Description:
Through a series of songs played live on a vintage bicycle, SPIN recounts a theatrical cycle of stories about bikes, women and liberation. Inspired by the incredible true tale of Annie Londonderry, the first woman to ride around the world on a bicycle in 1894, SPIN blends theatre, music and technology in a unique tribute to the bicycle as muse, musical instrument and agent of social change.

Written and performed by critically-acclaimed actor, singer and songwriter, Evalyn Parry (Breakfast, Clean Irene & Dirty Maxine), SPIN features Parry’s unique talents as vocalist and raconteur. Parry’s outspoken, personal and political performances are inspired by a powerful vision of social activism. Called “equally funny and dangerous” by CBC Radio, her irreverent wit holds nothing sacred.
