Last year Fringe organizers took a different approach to selecting shows in non-traditional spaces. Company pitches had to be as much about the performing space as the script.
This year there are 14 productions that would never fit under a theatre’s proscenium arch.
You can catch That Boob Show, the tale of a woman dealing with size, sexiness and personal places, staged amidst the intimate apparel at Secrets from Your Sister (from July 5) a version of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novel Mort set in U of T’s University College quadrangle (from July 7) and Tim Crouch’s England, written to be performed in a gallery (401 Richmond’s Urbanspace Gallery) and dealing with art, architecture and humanity (from July 5).
If you’re at the beer tent, check out Camp Schecky (from July 4 at Honest Ed’s parking lot), in which you can relive your summer experiences on an actual camp bus, and Quantum Taxis (from July 4 at Honest Ed’s parking garage), in which drivers in two cabs interact with their customers.
