Going into a show with impossibly high expectations can be a recipe for disappointment. Despite the long trek with a bad knee, after a long day and a freezing cold night, I’m pleased to say that Feathers of Fire not only met, but far exceeded my expectations.
The Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival continues until Sunday and tonight I was able to catch a double bill of The Hottest Girl in School and Fusion Comedy. It showed the variety of offerings that can be found in the festival. Although the material in both shows were vastly different in content, it was still a thoroughly enjoyable double bill overall.

Smyth/Williams brings cold, hard facts to Toronto’s Theatre Passe Muraille
In 2010, Russell Williams was arrested for two rape-murders, and other counts of sexual assault, confinement, and breaking and entering. One Little Goat Theatre Company’sSmyth/Williams playing at the Theatre Pass Muraille Backspace is a dramatization of the transcript of Williams’s interrogation by—and subsequent confession to—OPP Detective Jim Smyth.
It is infuriating, nausea-inducing, and exhausting, sitting on the uncomfortable line between a necessary performance and giving an unnecessary platform to a man who doesn’t deserve our attention.
Feathers of Fire is an epic, beautiful spectacle, on stage in Toronto as part of the Nowruz Festival
