(editor’s note — beware of SERIOUS spoilers in this review!!)
Don’t let the presence of a possibly paranoid schizophrenic attempting to telepathically kill Afghan goats in Churchill, Man., fool you. This is a serious story about the apathy of Canadians and our delusions about Canada’s role in the world. (Or maybe it’s just weird?) A secret military operation involving the shipment of live cargo from Afghanistan to Churchill gets a down-on-his-luck journalist searching for answers. Unfortunately for him, the answers are in the head of a stark, raving mad soldier. The cabin-fevered colonel is convinced he can fly, turn invisible, and basically use the force. Channeling Hunter S. Thompson, Family Guy’s Mayor West and your favorite local insaniac, Kris Joseph shines, playing the part as if he was born crazy. At times, this show can be too strange for its own good, but hey, it’s a fringe play.
