Theatre Reviews

The tone of this spoof of 70’s TV detec­tives is set ear­ly. The lights are still down as the music starts. Sud­den­ly the lights come on briefly to reveal Ryan Glad­stone as Grant Canyon, insur­ance inves­ti­ga­tor in a thrilling action pose. This is repeat­ed 3 or 4 times and already the audi­ence is sens­ing that this is going to be a real­ly fun show. So what kind of a man is Grant Canyon? Well for one thing, with his 70’s hair­style and of course his inde­struc­tible tweed suit he cer­tain­ly looks the part of a gumshoe. He’s also a smart aleck with a seem­ing­ly inex­haustible sup­ply of wise cracks and sim­i­les. More sim­i­les than cig­a­rette butts in a Win­nipeg bus shel­ter. (That was one of mine. His are way fun­nier. Trust me.) And what makes him such a good inves­ti­ga­tor? Well he’s drunk vir­tu­al­ly all of the time and some­times astound­ing­ly stu­pid. But nev­er mind. Canyon is tough. Real tough. It’s going to take more than being tied to a chair and get­ting punched in the face or attach­ing elec­trodes to his balls to make him quit with the wise cracks. Unfor­tu­nate­ly his taunts tend to make his cap­tors beat him up some more. ( He’s a bit stu­pid as I’ve men­tioned.).

This is a fast paced com­e­dy. As high paced as a.…. well nev­er mind it’s real­ly fast paced and fun­ny, and if you go to see it, it’s a sure bet that you will be laugh­ing your head off for an hour.
