Windsor Fringe Festival, July 18-27, 2008

"Type 2-A Tragic Comedy" is a sensitive, realistic portrayal of the highs and lows of bipolar disorder. The story chronicles the career of a standup comic who suffers from the illness. We also see how her periods of depression and mania affect her husband and their relationship. Type 2 is a rags to riches to reality tale that pulls no punches from either viewpoint. The show features the re-teaming of comic genius Michelle Mainwaring, who won the WODL Best Actress award for her dark, dramatic portrayal of Annie Wilkes in "Misery", and her partner in that production, Jason Gale, who was nominated for best actor. Gale and Mainwaring also wrote the script, utilizing Mainwaring's original comedy, and Gale's research and personal battle with the illness. If you know or think you know someone who is bipolar, you must see this show. Venue and times to be announced.   *Warning – strong language and mature content.
