I got a nice mention in the Panic Manual’s review of “Toronto Noir”
With only two performances left in this first run of “Toronto Noir” we are aiming to fill the theatre to capacity. And this review on Panic Manual gives us four out of five PMs.
It’s been an amazing experience – I’ve never worked with a cast of hand-picked actors before. Director Heather Davies put the cast together from people she already knew, apart from Murray Foster who plays Plunk Henry, who has turned out to be the star of the show, even though he hasn’t acted since high school.
Murray is an amazing bass player (you may know him from Moxy Fruvous and Great Big Sea) who also has huge stage presence. He carries his story alone and does an amazing job. His voice is like a cross between Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin – and he’s had no training, the jammy git! He’s managed to kick all our butts.
If you haven’t yet seen the show and you’re in Toronto, please stop by either tomorrow at 4pm or on Saturday at 12pm – this show is well worth seeing and for only $10 it’s a bargain.

Marilla who?
I am a British-born actress and stand-up comic who does lots of voice work (for commercials, cartoons and corporate clients) and sometimes, when I'm very lucky, tv and film. When I was in England I did mostly theatre. Now I'm in Canada I spend the majority of the time writing and performing stand-up. When I'm not making episodes of Talking Bollocks, that is. And that's me for you.
