Kitchen Sink Productions is proud to present KITCHEN SINK DRAMA at the Toronto Fringe July 4 to 14
with the support of Unspoken Theatre and Plan A Theatre
Sample tasty fresh food and brand new bite sized plays at this original site-specific production, Toronto Fringe's first show in Leslieville! Romance, deceit, regret, lust, grief, humour and a Four Course serving of drama!
Five playwrights created brand new work to perform in a kitchen in Leslieville for an audience busy munching on snacks served up by the cast! Each writer was given a unique flavour - Salty, Bitter, Umami, Sweet - to correspond with the Soup, Salad, Main, and Dessert course of a meal. The pieces they created are strange, powerful meditations on love, betrayal, grief and revenge. They are magical, delicious and proudly queer. Your $13 ticket includes four short plays and four small snacks!
The Salty Soup course is the first play, Siren, by award-winning playwright Natalie Kaye (Mood Swings, Fringe 2016), in which a scullery maid makes dinner and rails against the constraints of her oppressive employment, vowing to storm the seas as a blood-thirsty pirate. She will serve the audience a deliciously salty summer gazpacho.
The Bitter Salad course, Bitter Hearts, debates the ethics of veganism while relishing the inescapable bitterness of first love’s betrayal.
The Umami Main course, Savour, directed by Sandra Cardinal (Sizzle & Spin, Fringe 2015) and starring Fringe veteran and Equity member Andrea Irwin (False Start, Fringe 2016 & Hogtown, 2017), Kelly-Marie McKenna (If We Were Birds, York U), and Mladen Obradovi? (A Flea in Her Ear, Fringe 2017), is a delectable romance about fairies, breakups, yearning, alienation, magic and carpe diem.
The Sweet Dessert course is A Trifle, written by award-winning playwright Nina Kaye (Death Meets Harlequin, Fringe 2017) and directed by Collette Radau (Midnight Toronto, Rhubarb 2017). The queer comedy about new love, cake, and how to connect, is a sweet, but not too saccharine, way to end the night.
With 17 members in the production team, many of whom are returning to Fringe, and only 30 seats in our cozy kitchen each night, these tickets are sure to sell quickly so book now!
