Cyrano at the Randolph Academy

There's still time today and tomorrow to catch performances of Edmond Rostand's classic Cyrano de Bergerac at the Annex Theatre on Bathurst, just south of Bloor.

Part of the Randolph Academy's season, here's a play summary from the website in case you've forgotten the details: "Part romance, part swashbuckling adventure, witty, funny, and heartbreaking. Cyrano -- with the nose of a clown and the soul of a poet – anchors a love triangle with the beautiful Roxane and the handsome, but inarticulate, Christian. Convinced Roxane would never have him because of his ugliness, Cyrano uses his gift for tender verse to help Christian win Roxane’s heart just before both men depart for war."

Hamlet Live at the Annex Theatre

And now for something a little different: Hamlet Live.
Shakespeare's classic gets several twists during performances taking place at the Bathurst Street Theatre from January 26th to February 11th.

For instance, the play is set in 2080.

But probably the most interesting thing about it is that the creators "want this to be the most widely viewed performance of Hamlet... in history."

Aiming high is always good! They hope to achieve their goal by offering live streaming of the performances, as well a version of the last performance that people can watch at their leisure.
If you want to catch it live, tickets are a reasonable price.
Cheers,

Play Matt and Ben On Stage Tuesday

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck [and their bromance] intrigue me. I guess I'm not the only one because someone has written a one-hour play about them called, appropriately enough, Matt and Ben.
You can catch it in our area at the The Bathurst Street Theatre (Annex Theatre) Wednesday.
Tickets are $20/$18 for students.

Cheers,
