After a successful world premiere at the 2016 Winnipeg Fringe Festival, JONNO by Alix Sobler receives its Toronto debut at the Next Stage Theatre Festival this January. Inspired by recent events, JONNO tells the story of a beloved Canadian radio personality a man whose endearing exterior proves to be the disguise of a violent, insecure, and narcissistic sexual predator. Angry, visceral, and disturbingly funny, the play takes an honest look at the violence perpetuated against women, and forces a light onto the men who engage in it. JONNO is directed by Paul Van Dyck and produced by Rabbit in a Hat Productions, and runs from January 3-14th at the Factory Theatre Mainspace as part of The Toronto Fringe's Next Stage Theatre Festival. www.rabbitinahatproductions.com
