Don't forget to see Remember The Night

If you missed Remember The Night at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival two years ago, I highly recommend you catch the remount next month. Daniel Thau-Eleff penned this play, described as "equal parts murder-mystery, dark comedy and bittersweet love song to Winnipeg." It sold out its entire Fringe run, partly because it was in a tiny 60-seat venue. (I specifically remember this because I scored the very last advance ticket available). In his five-star review for CBC, my friend Kaj wrote it "mixes Woody Allen-style laughs with Tarantino-esque structure." I thought everything about the production was terrific - the multi-generational cast, the direction by Arne MacPherson, the innovative set, but most of all its poetic reflections on our imperfect and lonely city.

Remember The Night is showing at nightly at 8 p.m. from March 3 - 14 at 290 McDermot. They have a couple of matinees and PWYC shows. To find out how to reserve tickets, visit their website.
