Icarus Redux

This modern take on the greek legend by Open Season Theatre explores the contentious relationship between a dainty and fragile young man, and his emotionally aloof father.

Meshing fable and realist drama, *Icarus Redux* is certainly a fascinating piece of theatre, enhanced by an evocative monochrome set design, but doesn’t satisfy in every respect. Although both characters seem to be gripped by occasional bouts of madness, that particular detail has few narrative consequences. The piece seems to slowly and contemplatively build steam, but a climax in the traditional sense of the word is absent. It’s a challenging production, but perhaps not yet fully realized.

_Icarus Redux is part of this year's Toronto Fringe Festival and continues until July 12th. For more information you could fly "here":http://www.fringetoronto.com/fringe09/indoorBYOV_listings.html#I or if you want to fly close to the sun try_ "here":http://www.icarusredux.com/
