I went to Amy's show last night - Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump. It's very good and very funny, especially Chris S's performance as Dusan. The title refers to a World Heritage Site in Alberta, where the Blackfoot people used to drive buffalo toward the cliff edge, where they tumbled to their death, at the bottom to be skinned and turned into all the handy things one can make from a buffalo. In the play, the characters drive one another toward a metaphorical cliff, an inevitable disaster. Sometimes they drive, sometimes they're driven. Eventually they have to jump.

Anyhow, if you're in TO, it's a great show. It's at the Young Centre, down in the distillery district, which is pretty cool all by itself.

Now I go to eat and write papers.
