“The Bidding War”, Crow’s Theatre, Toronto, ON

Gord and I saw The Bidding War tonight at Crow’s Theatre (Carlaw/Dundas E). 

The city’s last affordable house is for sale. Heads roll and shrimp tails fly when a frantic, 12-hour bidding war erupts during what was supposed to be a routine open house. Agents turn on buyers, buyers turn on agents, and everything spirals into an uproarious dark comedy of desperation and anxiety. 

This season’s largest cast brings everyday homebuyers to life as they grapple with extraordinary circumstances, skyrocketing housing costs, gentrification and sabotage.

It was really good! Funny and frantic at times with a strong cast.
