A really fun show which was very well performed, and educational too! I learned a little about art, and lots about Thomson and the Group of Seven. By the same performer who did last year’s This Is Cancer. Some very easy audience interaction. Recommended!
Good, but not great. Also, beware that when you get a cone, even a regular adult cone, the cone comes wrapped in a paper protector which is actually glued to the cone itself. It’s hard to remove sometimes leading to cone breakage or even requiring you to eat a bit of the paper and glue if you don’t want to waste any of the $3.50 treat. Get a cup instead for another 50 cents and get two flavours.
The Chicken Curry was tasty as usual, but also as usual, the amount was a bit skimpy. Plus the rice was a little watery this time. The veggie samosa was definitely up to snuff, especially with the tamarind sauce.
It was pretty good, but Beth said she had the same one and got one with a whole wheat bun, rather than the white bun I got. I’d rather have had the whole wheat bun. The ingredients were good, but the sandwich was a little soggy, as opposed to freshly made on the spot. For $7, I’d like it to be a little fresher.
Good performances from the three actors in this play. This is probably the best of the three shows I saw Wednesday night. It’s an interesting story, well told. Partly funny, partly dark and with accents (English and Irish) that for me (not very sophisticated with regard to accents) were just fine and not distracting. Good to see, but not a must-see.
An energetic one-man performance tending toward the surreal at times. A little too much surreality and that plus the character of Henry lies a lot (hence the title) meant I didn’t find any sympathy for Henry. Pretty interesting, though. Not a must-see, but good to see.
This was a well-performed one-woman show, but I felt I didn’t get to know the character well enough to really be moved by her story. TJ Dawe did a somewhat similar story (but involving some drug use, not just meditation) in a previous Fringe but that was much more moving. Good to see, but not a must-see.
I got a quick response to my note to DreamHost (my hosting company) about the timekeeping problem mentioned previously. They updated the time on the server I use, so now my Fringe schedule timestamp should be reasonably accurate. I still wonder why they didn’t have it synchronized, or notice the synchronization had failed. NTP is pretty easy to set up and maintain. But kudos to them for the quick fix to my admittedly low-priority problem.
My Fringe schedule page reflects the current year now! It’s just a skeleton for now. Rob, no surprise, has pretty much his entire Fringe schedule up already. My first night (tonight) will probably be a copy of his.
Also note that for some reason the timekeeping of my web hosting service is off by roughly 18 minutes, so if you happen to look at the “Last Modified” timestamp on my schedule page, subtract 18 minutes to get the actual time of the last change.
Is this thing on?
Hi, all! I’m going to make more of an effort than last year to document my thoughts and feelings on all things 2013 Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival. Check out my totally up-to-date and current Fringe schedule! Which won’t exist until tomorrow morning sometime. And if my schedule is as busy as I’m hoping it will be, my reviews won’t be up until the morning after as well. At best.
Happy Fringeing!
