Opening night review Hamilton Fringe by Danny Gaisin, The Ontario Arts Review

TYPE 2

by Danny Graisin
....it certainly is the most important play of Fringe. The play is written by, & co-stars Jason Gale whose personal knowledge of Bi-polar manic depression bestows an added sense of truth to this work. Gale portrays Michael who caringly supports a wife suffering from the illness. Michelle Mainwaring imparts such realism to every symptomatic facet of the mental disease that one forgets this is but a stage performance. Her Jasmine character is a stand-up comedienne so the stress of 'Show Biz' adds to the pressure cooker. Director Eleanor Piotrowski utilizes short episodic skits to present the impulsive moods, energy levels, and the behavioral peaks & valleys experienced by sufferers. The realism of rationalizations; excuses, and rollercoaster mood -swings will make audience members begin to personally wonder "Am I type 1 or Type 2?" This is a must-see production!
