BirdLand Theatre to Present the Canadian Premiere of GRUESOME PLAYGROUND INJURIES, 5/2-13

By: Kelsey Denette Apr. 25, 2012

BirdLand Theatre will present the Canadian premiere production of Pulitzer Prize Finalist Rajiv Joseph's dark romantic saga GRUESOME PLAYGROUND INJURIES, playing at The Theatre Centre, 1087 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario, from May 2 to 13, 2012. Press Opening is Thursday May 3, 2012 at 7:30 pm. Alternate Press Review Date is Friday May 4 at 7:30 pm.

Gruesome Playground Injuries explores the cost of wounded friendships. Over the course of 30 years, the lives of Doug and Kayleen intersect at the most bizarre intervals, leading the two childhood friends to compare scars and the physical calamities that keep drawing them together. But what responsibility do we bear toward others, and how far can one person go to heal another's wounds?

Directed by Stefan Dzeparoski, the roles of Doug and Kayleen are played by Peter Mooney (TV: Rookie Blue, Falcon Beach, Camelot. Theatre: After Miss Julie, Our Town) and Janet Porter (Theatre: Assassins, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, Elora Gorge).

Box Office: 416.538.0988. Website: www.birdlandtheatre.com.

Review: MACHINAL and THE BEE'S KNEES at Red Sandcastle/The Theatre Centre

If the 2020s have occasionally uncomfortably reminded you of the 1920s, you’re not alone. Two Toronto theatre companies are currently using work from and about that turbulent decade to comment on present issues. At the Red Sandcastle, The Flare Productions presents Sophie Treadwell’s seminal work of feminist and Expressionist theatre, MACHINAL, a 1928 play very loosely based on the real-life story of Ruth Snyder, executed at Sing Sing Prison for the murder of her husband. At the Theatre Centre, Tall Poppy Productions presents a new work written and directed by Judy Reynolds, THE BEE’S KNEES, a fictional tale of one of the first women to run for Canadian parliament in the early 1920s.
