A pregnancy. An affair. A marriage counsellor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sex. Love. Happiness. Traditional values face off against contemporary lifestyles and raise questions about the true nature of relationships in today’s world. Carefully constructed facades and ideals falter as the lives of three couples intertwine and they are each forced to examine the underbelly of their relationship in this new drama about love and the pursuit of happiness.

 

The basis for this new play came to Writer/Director Chantal Forde in a dream while on vacation. The scribbled early-morning notes became intense conversations addressing our preconceived notions of what a “healthy” or “normal” relationship might be. When the script was finally born, she and her husband Tim Cadeny, knew that the Toronto Fringe would be the perfect opportunity for its debut.

This unique cast brings together a group of actors who simply cannot stay away from the Toronto Fringe. Included are Joel Fishbane (Short Story Long – Fringe New Play contest winner); Tim Cadeny (Shevil - 2015 Fringe, QuarterLife - 2009 Fringe); Andrea Brown (POP: The Musical - 2012 Fringe, What is The Mango Project? – 2009 Fringe); and Chantal Forde ( Shevil – 2015 Fringe, Sonnets for a New Century – 2011 Fringe, QuarterLife – 2009 Fringe).

 

It’s easy to say what you think is right. Come see the show that challenges not only what you think about love, but what you think you know about yourself.
