• Winnipeg Fringe 2017: read our reviews

If you are Ophelia, and find yourself in a play within a play within the playInertia, you throw yourself a kick-ass, punk rock, funeral party, celebrating female power and railing against the misogyny machine.

Inertiais intensely self-aware, beautifully expressed, and deeply fragmented. An actor in the midst of an existential crisis brings to the Fringe Festival his one-man version of Hamlet, the story of a prince floundering in an existential crisis. Over the course of the festival he seduces a much younger actor with beer and base flattery. Damage is done. Not content to follow the script, the younger actor/Ophelia switches the roles, seizes the throne, and commits her own acts of violence.

Quite rough around the edges, and not intended for mass appeal, there is a certain spark of magic here.
