Highly Recommended: Passionfool Theatre's production of the play "Terrorism" currently at The Arts Project.
I went to the matinee on Saturday - reluctantly - because I judged the title as depressing and was, frankly, afraid of the material. If my step kids hadn't given me a subscription to the Passionfool season, I wouldn't have gone. As it was, I dragged my heels going there, but - surprise! - I emerged energized.
A vibrant play that keeps moving and is never boring or preachy, but gives you plenty to think about, it's directed by Justin Quesnelle who has, once again, excelled in both staging and direction.
If I counted correctly, 19 actors fill this play, and they do a really good job of depicting a wide spectrum of viewpoints and behaviors and their consequences. I'm really glad I did not miss this one.
If you like performances that give you something to think about, go see "Terrorism." If you go with a friend, you'll probably find yourself wanting to go out for coffee to talk about it afterward.
Full of surprises, dark humor, ironies and good acting, this is a must-see if you're in London, Ontario. Plays through March 26th. Again, highly recommended. Do not let the title scare you away as it almost did me.
