"Fear of Flight", Factory Theatre, Toronto, ON

If you show up at the Factory Theatre on Friday nights at 7:45pm and there are tickets left for their plays, they are only $10.

And that's what Gord and I did tonight!

We saw Fear of Flight. The Toronto Star gave it 4/4.

Ever been on a flight when the lights flicker and the plane suddenly drops what seems like a hundred feet, leaving your stomach hovering somewhere high above you?

If you've ever experienced a nasty spot of turbulence over the Rockies or mid-Atlantic, you'll empathize with the 12 nervous passengers and two flight attendants in Fear of Flight, the brilliant Artistic Fraud creation now flying high at Factory Theatre.

It's part a cappella musical, part comedy, part this-plane-is-about-to-crash thriller, and it all adds up to total success. The passengers provide the atmospheric vocals and cleverly choreographed movements as various stories unfold and we gradually learn a little about the lives of those on board.
