Ottawa Fringe 2012: The Suicide oozes with energy and physicality.

Ottawa Fringe 2012: The Suicide oozes with energy and physicality.

Fresh from their April performance at the Ottawa Theatre School, Pierre Brault and his merry band of student actors have done a truly great job of tightening the rhythm, introducing explosive energy and a lot of flowing physicality that brings us into the well oiled mechanics of this ferocious satire of socialism under Stalin where a whole society  wants to benefit from the dilemma of  poor Semyon who is out of a  job and sees no other solution but to kill himself.  Some very good performances but this is an ensemble piece that gets all its momentum from group action…and they got it!!

Bravo!   The Suicide plays at Café Alt and it lasts 90 minutes. It’s a full length play but time slips by quickly.
