This is good news for fans of T.J. Dawe: He'll do one performance of his play The Skip-Knot on monday, Memorial Day, as a fundraiser for the Fringe.
The show will be at 11:30 a.m. Monday in the Margeson Theater at the Lowndes Shakespeare Center. That's the orange venue, for those of you colorfully inclined.
Here's the official info on The Slip-Knot, which T.J. first performed here in 2002. (For what it's worth, this is one of my favorite of his shows):
The Slip-Knot is a one person show about working horrible day jobs: stock-boy at a drug store, truck driver for a dumpster company and Christmas parcel tracker for the post office. There are three subplots: a long distance relationship, an attempt to sell a used van and the ordeal of finding an apartment in a new city.
"If you could listen to a juggler, and if that juggler were the most accomplished juggler in the world, the experience would be something like listening to TJ Dawe in The Slip-Knot" - Elizabeth Maupin, Orlando Sentinel
"A cross between a Dilbert comic strip and a Stuart McLean narrative" - Susan Down, Victoria Times-Colonist
"It's a virtuoso performance. This is not just a lesson in rhythm, text and performance; it is also a scintillating explosion of imagination. Fine, fine theatre pulled out of thin air" - Gaetan Charlebois - Hour Magazine (Montreal)
TJ has toured The Slip-Knot throughout Canada and the US.
