Summerworks

I didn't bother posting about Biographies of the Dead and Dying, The Sad and Cautionary Tale of Smackhead Peter, or The Small Ones because I've already talked about them with you. The former was a dark and short drama which was pretty good, but maybe not satisfying. (Alright, there didn't need to be an actual ghost)

Smackhead Peter was very fun, and straddled both sides of a rise and fall of a messiah. It was funny and clever, and played up a lot of elements like the psychedelia, the class distinctions, and crime.

The Small Ones had some good ideas, but it didn't come together as something exciting or have much of an impact on me. It was sort of personal but and delicate but not beautiful enough to be memorable as an object.

Summerworks was an affordable way to see a lot of theatre, and my favorite remains the Witch of Edmonton.
