The Summerworks Theatre Festival Now Magazine, Toronto |
The best two shows at the Canadian Pavilion were Atomic Vaudeville's Legoland visiting from Victoria, and 2b theatre's Invisible Atom, from Halifax. The former, written with caustic wit by Jacob Richmond, centres on teen sibs Penny and Ezra Lamb, who deal drugs and travel across North America. Penny becomes obsessed with a boy band and tries to bring one of its members back to artistic life. This dark, dark comedy, part puppet show, part Grand Guignol, part song-and-dance, was totally entertaining. One of our faves in the Summerworks lineup, it was manic fun, wickedly performed by Celine Stubel and Amitai Marmorstein.
