NOW MAGAZINE

5 ARTISTS TO WATCH AT THE FRINGE

WHO: Andrea Donaldson

WHAT: Director of Tyumen, Then, a satire set on a 1941 train about war and survival.

WHY: Donaldson’s name on a program (Montparnasse, The Unfortunate Misadventures Of Masha Galinski, The Atomic Weight Of Happiness) always promises suggestive staging that teases the imagination. Can’t wait to see what she does with Adam Underwood’s play, in which the corpse of Vladimir Lenin plays a part.

“With a strong cast and sound director, this quirky satire has all the makings for Fringe.” BlogTO

“With a strong all-male trio of Toronto performers and Andrea Donaldson directing (Montparnasse, The Atomic Weight of Happiness), it’s one of the year’s must-sees. Besides, the show was invited by the Fringe to help raise $2,000 for the festival, so to not go would just be mean.” The Torontoist (Carly Maga)
