These will be incredibly short reviews, as there is almost no time left for anyone to actually act on them.
Knife over at Theatre Centre. There should be a show this evening (7:30?) and then a matinee on Sunday. I thought this was solid. Actually one of the better shows I've seen so far in 2026. The set-up actually was very similar to Annie Baker's The Aliens (which was at Coal Mine 8 or so years ago). The playwright told me he indeed took Annie Baker as an inspiration but hadn't managed to see that show.
I've mentioned Bonnes Bonnes at Factory already. Very interesting take looking at Genet's The Maids through a Chinese-Canadian lens. There are only two performances left of the French version of this show.
Same deal with The Book of Mormon over at Mirvish - two performances left. A stunningly funny (though often very crass) show. Glad I had the opportunity to check it out again, after seeing it in Chicago, probably close to 15 years ago.
I am sad to say that Mary Mary Mary Mary by Erin Shields at Crow's Theatre is a disappointment at basically every level. Dont go.
That's truly it, as I have to run now.
