BEST IN WINDSOR FRINGE, 2008


Our Hamilton Fringe Festival Show Synopsis

"Type 2- A Tragic Comedy" is a sensitive, realistic
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.
