Donny's Day

Eddie, a former animation writer and all-around social misfit is having an extremely bad day. His lisping girlfriend dumps him, he is fired from his job as an ESL teacher, his AA sponsor encourages him to fall off the wagon, and his therapist seems determined to drive him to suicide.

There is a lot of solid comedic writing behind *Donny’s Day* - Eddie’s status as a clueless wise-cracker surrounded by straight men works particularly well - but there are more than a couple of rough areas too. Although all the secondary characters could be called ‘zany’, they are also archetypes lacking three-dimensionality, and the climax comes off as an artificially planned reunion of all the play’s characters in one place.

Donny's Day continues until July 11th as part of this year's Toronto Fringe Festival. You can find out more information including showtimes "here":http://www.fringetoronto.com/fringe09/indoorBYOV_listings.html#C or you could try "here":http://web.me.com/finworks/Site/Donnys_Day.html
