Patient 0: A love story
In the best way possible, this show is the black sheep of this year’s Toronto Fringe Festival. Compared to your typical fringe theatre show, Patient 0 is VERY different from most and perhaps that’s why it’s not getting the best reviews. I’ve seen some other shows and they’re lighthearted, fun, some even silly; what you’d typically expect from fringe and local theatre today. THIS does not compare. This is intricately emotion-provoking, intense, and raw. A show that could be appreciated by even those who are not into theatre at all. The monologues gave me goosebumps and despite being confused in the beginning, I absolutely loved the way things started to make sense as the story progressed. This may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you strip down the pre-conceived thoughts of theatre today and see this, you’ll realize this is a damn good show and a damn good experience to witness. Highly recommend it
If you had asked me what this show was about immediately after, I don’t think I could have told you. Definitely not my cup of tea.
