Shattered is created and performed by Andrew Barrett. He is the Artistic Director of Impulse Theatre based in Victoria, BC which has created over 10 new highly visual and engaging works since 2010. This newest work premiered at Intrepid Theatre's UnoFest May 2013.
The write-up for Shattered states: "Each of us has dozens of pieces and parts inside of us, but what happens when they have to fend for themselves? An intense and beautiful physical theatre piece, Shattered gets inside a person who is broken apart. This solo endeavour follows the pieces as they strive to find where they fit and...
Written by American playwright Glen Berger, Underneath The Lintel is a Fringe Festival anomaly. Unlike many shows you'll see at the Fringe, King Baby Productions chose an existing script - one that was published, proven and has been performed in several countries as well as translated into multiple languages. Kudos to this independent professional company based on Bowen Island for bringing Vancouver this intriguing story well told.
Staged in the Culture Lab at the Cultch, we meet The Librarian (played by David Cameron). He has rented this "auditorium" for one night only - it's expensive, you know - and plans to offer us proof...
Even though the Fringe shows are assigned randomly to our Plank reviewers, somehow I feel I was destined to see this performance at the 2013 Fringe. Perhaps it's because 2013 is my year of Star Trek.

We meet Johnny in a shiny silver space suit. He tells us: "...

Paul Constantino brings his considerable talents to the characterization of nine very different parts with his deft use of subtleties as in the way a woman will pluck facial hairs almost unconsciously. At the outset, we are encouraged to “Stop, look and listen” and in doing so we can transcend the noisiness to find quiet and peace. Which is easier said than done but Constantino holds our rapt attention.
Tawanda, a motherless child, mother to her four brothers and now pregnant with her second child is foul-mouthed and “direct”. She loves Joey, the father of her children and himself a...
John Grady begins his one man show with electronic music that suggests an ominous theme. He appears side stage, momentarily spotlighted and then the main stage lights come on and Grady is centre stage ready to share snippets of his life, stating at elementary school and ending in New York City in his 30's.
This beginning sets the stage for the concept that in telling his history he is trying to figure out how it defined him and how he had a part in its unfolding. Each segment has a common theme, that of bullying. The stories never...
Produced by a company called Me, Myself and I, this show is precisely as advertised in its fairly brief show description. A one-woman show with four characters, we meet multiple generations of women in one family who have some divergent issues with their respective chests.
