Generic Male: Just What We Need Another Show About Men

PUSH Physical Theatre—John Hirsch Mainstage

I was thrilled when I opened the program and saw that PUSH Physical Theatre was back with their multi-award winning show. Not generic in the slightest, a show by men for everyone explores the male psyche with a flair for acrobatic absurdity with sprinklings of heartfelt humour throughout.

I did find that this show created by Darren Stevenson and Ashley Jones benefited from the more intimate setting last year, but the story keeps the audience on their toes as notions of familial roles, and societal expectations are challenged throughout this 60-minute piece.

It is always a delight to see a show that is polished and probes the audience with questions you’ll be pondering well after the sun sets on this years Fringe season.
