Have you ever wondered why our hearts do the things that they do? Have you ever felt the extreme emotions of a break-up and thought that you’d be better off without a heart to break?

Check back regularly to see what new reviews have been posted. EYE has more writers so will likely get stuff up a bit quicker than us, but ours will be a bit longer and more details.

The best way to find out about what is hot and what is not at Fringe Festivals is through word-of-mouth.

But these are the days of technology, so there’s an added way to catch the buzz, twitter.
If you have something to say about the festival use the hashtag #FringeTO so that everyone hears you. And, if you want to find out what Mooney on Theatre has to say, follow us @moneyontheatre
Our goal is to do a daily round up of the buzz we hear throughout the day and publish it here on Mooney on Theatre. We encourage you to add your own buzz in the comments section.
