TYPE 2 - A TRAGIC COMEDY (A PLAY ABOUT BIPOLAR DISORDER) took place on Thursday, July 16, 2009 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM
in HAMILTON ON. More details on the event are below.
Type 2 is a sensitive, brutally honest portrayal of the highs and lows of bipolar disorder.
The story chronicles the career of a stand up comic who suffers from the illness. We
also see how her periods of depression and mania affect her husband and their
relationship. "Type 2" is a rags to riches to reality tale that pulls no punches from either
viewpoint. The show features the re-teaming of comic genius Michelle Mainwaring,
who won WODL Best Actress award for her dark, dramatic portrayal of Annie Wilkes in
"Misery" and her partner in that production Jason Gale who was nominated for best
actor. Gale wrote the script, utilizing his research and personal battle with the illness.
If you know or think you know someone who is bipolar, you must see this show.

"For Tragedy is an imitation, not of men, but of an action and of life, and life consists in action, and its end is a mode of action, not a quality....For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors.
