JONNO
ECHO theatre—Tom Hendry Theatre at the MTC Warehouse
I assume this play is a hit on Jian Ghomeshi and honestly, I get more feeling out of watching a news article about Ghomeshi that I do watching this play. Fracturing the incidents and the victims denudes the play of its ability to engage the viewers’ emotions.
After Jonno assaults his victim, the focus either moves to another victim, or moves to Jonno’s justification. If this play would have continue with the victim and displayed the abject horror that they experience, this could have been a powerful and tearful exposition. Instead, it’s just a story without feeling and soul.
