The Rachel Browne Theatre
When Les buys an iconic fedora worn by famed 1940s movie detective Dana Andrews, the lines between reality and film noir blur as he investigates a series of suspicious pet deaths. Two actors and 13 crazy characters take you through a stylistic fantasy with bust-a-kneecap laughs. HHHH 1/2 “...a slapstick homage to film noir that was unequivocally the funniest piece of theatre I have seen all year… this is a quirky, genuinely fun show that should not be missed!” – Canada Fringe Review

Generic Male: Just What We Need, Another Show About Men
NEW WORK!
by Ashley Jones and Darren Stevenson “Just what we need, another show about men” – Raves No One Explosive, athletic, visceral physical theatre ruined by a tragic lack of understanding. Award-winning PUSH Physical Theatre, called “a perfect metaphor-in-motion” by CITY Newspaper and “a rare treat” by NY Theatre Guide, creates a masculinity satire by two well-meaning fools – arguing, dancing, desperately clinging to the status quo.
