Indian Ink Theatre Company (New Zealand) $24 TICKETS FROM Jan 15– Feb 03, 2019 THEATRE PLACES, PLEASE YOUR MONTHLY THEATRE GUIDE LEAH SIEGEL Oh, December. It’s one last month of large helpings of food, Michael Bublé Christmas songs, eggnog lattés, and seasonal Hallmark romantic movies before January 1, when we arbitrarily decide that fun isn’t good for us, but the gym is. Here’s a helpful hint: if you’re still struggling to find a great Christmas gift for a friend, get them a theatre ticket. Not only is it a thoughtful present, it’s also a great way to find out if your friend likes theatre – or if you should find a new friend. Blind Date Goldcorp Stage at the BMO Theatre Centre, November 22-December 30 Do you ever sit at bars and watch Tinder matches meet for the first time? Yes, it’s a little bit creepy – but it’s so entertaining. There’s something about the awkwardness of others that is absolutely fascinating. Along comes Blind Date, a 90-minute piece of spontaneous theatre that rewards those of us with voyeuristic tendencies. In it we watch Mimi arrive for a blind date, only to find herself stood up. Not to let a good opportunity go to waste (she is, after all, dressed up, and there’s a bottle of wine already ordered), she plucks a new date from the audience with whom to spend the evening. Prepare for the awkward, but anticipate swooning by the end. While talking to CTV, playwright Rebecca Northan said that “On a perfect night of Blind Date, the whole audience falls in love.” Little Dickens Historic Theatre, December 4-22 If you’ve ever gotten tired of the saccharine wholesomeness that Christmas stories usually offer, look no further than Little Dickens at the Cultch. Master puppeteer Ronnie Burkett returns this December with his semi-improvised take on A Christmas Carol, where you can expect raunchy jokes, a puppet strip tease, and an audience singalong. In case it wasn’t clear, leave the kids at home for this one. Bombay Black Firehall Arts Centre, December 5-15 In India, Apsara works as an exotic dancer while her mother Padma finds the customers. The two fled a rather awful-sounding situation with Apsara’s father, leaving Padma embittered and set on revenge. Things get interesting when a blind customer named Kamal visits Apsara. What’s the appeal, the mother and daughter wonder, for a blind man to “watch” her dance? It turns out that Kamal has an agenda – and harbours bitter secrets of his own. Rohit Chokhani’s new take on Anosh Irani’s play distinguishes itself by framing the story from Kamal’s perspective, and it has already won critical acclaim. It’s a Wonderful Life Gateway Theatre, December 6-31 It’s a Wonderful Life is the best Christmas movie out there. End of discussion. First off, Jimmy Stewart is bae. Second, despite the film being a classic, the issues that George Bailey faces (economic insecurity, depression, general existential angst) feel very current. It’s like writer-director Frank Capra just gets us, you know? The folks over at Gateway have decided to turn this story into a musical, which is an interesting choice – one that risks turning an already sentimental story sappy. That said, there’s no better time of the year for sap. Bring on the emotions! Hilarious, touching and altogether most rewarding. —THEATREVIEW #ricericebaby TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THECULTCH.COM Bombay Black is a critically acclaimed production guaranteed to challenge your senses. 10 December 2018
