Fitting in is never easy. At work, at home, or in society as a whole, sometimes you just don’t feel like you belong. But not to worry! This week’s Cheap Theatre list focuses on characters who also don’t quite fit in, and their struggles to overcome their outsider status. You can see any of them for around $20 or less! So whether you’re interested in the tale of an out-of-the-ordinary Roman slave fighting for his freedom, two lovers trying to navigate the Wikileaks affair, or the story of children begging on the streets of Kolkata, come check out some good, affordable theatre!
Here is what’s going on in Toronto theatre this week. There are several great shows to catch for the week of April 28th, 2014. ** Shows marked with the double asterisks and in red are the ones that make Wayne, our Managing Editor, wish he could exist in multiple parallel universes so he could check them all out.
The winter that would never end is finally (hopefully) over! So why not put a little spring in your step with a little Cheap Theatre? This week, we’re focusing on a series of shows being put on by The Playwright Project. Each year, the Project chooses a playwright, and brings his or her works to different neighbourhoods in Toronto. This year, they’re taking over the Danforth with the plays of British playwright Caryl Churchill, whose work has been described as “subversive, controversial, and constantly pushing the limits of dramatic writing”. For as little as $10 a pop, you can’t go wrong with The Playwright Project.

In this week’s episode of cheap theatre picks, we’re taking a look at human relationships – husbands and wives, parents and offspring, significant others, and best friends.

We guarantee, you won’t be disappointed! (Guarantee not an actual guarantee)
And for a bonus pick this week, we’ve thrown in a show you can experience for free. Yes, free! Happy theatre-ing!
