Never Say Die

Ars Poetica at Infinitheatre, through February 12

by Alex Woolcott

It’s a swing and a miss for Ars Poetica, the second play by Arthur Holden and the latest offering from Montreal’s Infinitheatre. Infinite can always be commended for exclusively producing new work by local writers. But this time around they’ve emerged with a weak and meandering comedy in desperate need of another draft.

by Anna Fuerstenberg

I really wanted to like this production. Boxing is a sport for which I have a particular fondness. I also really like some of the actors and was looking forward to them doing a bio-play about the great Joe Louis. We were seated in a very realistic ring like setting, and the opening of the [...]

Montreal’s been a sad place to be a playwright. The two major theatres were, and some say still are, much too interested in doing second-hand U.S. and U.K. productions, and neglecting both Canadian work and local playwrights. However, there has been a sea change with Centaur’s production of Bated Breath, and In Piazza San Domenico, [...]

Anorexia Dramatosa

Rabbit Rabbit, Infinitheatre

by Marianne Ackerman
14.11.2009

Stripped of the hullabaloo created by love, morality and taboo, what is the sexual act? A thirst-quenching transaction, the earth moves or it doesn’t. Money or some other currency changes hands. Amy Lee Lavoie’s play Rabbit Rabbit explores the brave new world of 21st century sexuality by way of familiar dramatic archetypes: a prostitute and [...]
