BWW Review: PLAYING WITH FIRE: THE THEO FLEURY STORY at Centaur Theatre

February 5, 2019 //  by tfp-prime

“Despite the elaborate set – the faux skating rink takes up the entire stage – the play feels intimate.”

“The play doesn’t shy away from Fleury’s life, instead faces it head on and handling it with a moving combination of raw vulnerability and humour.”

“As you watch him sweat and spit and cry his way through more than two hours worth of pure monologue, all the while whizzing around across the glossy white surface, you begin to feel you’re in the presence of greatness and it’s a bit like witnessing a piece of Canadian history in your own backyard”

“There is just the right amount of special effects to make it feel magical, without taking away from the main event: Smyth’s performance.”
