Tortoise, the Hare, and the Truth

Sweet Action Theatre Presents a brave retelling of one of history’s most timeless stories: The Tortoise and the Hare. Join Toronto’s freakiest clown cult as they explore fate, intimacy, love, sex, death, hate, joy, pain, lust, fear, envy, gluttony, confidence, dancing, laughter, kissing, sleeping, feeling, wishing, and finally, knowing.

The audience laughed at times but I just didn't crack up in general at this troupe's version of silliness and that is fine. Too many 'slow' jokes for me. Despite that, they have some fun and original ideas.

However, what stole the show for me was the ringmaster. His performance and comedy were completely up my alley.

In addition to off the wall and silly, this is surprisingly more sentimental than most would expect. Definitely what fringing is all about. Try something new and find out the true story behind the fable.
