The Mathemagician's Apprentice

Post a review of this show!

This is a show best described as DIY theatre. Fellow audience members will be your primary companions on this strange journey, and don’t worry, you’ll be given name tags to help acquaint yourselves. Stragetically planted VHS and audio tapes and diagrams are the primary conveyors of story here in this utterly disorienting and semi-improvised interactive production. The Mathemagician and his apprentice are a bizarre source of humour as you’re exposed to the convoluted logic of eccentric academic obsessed with a miracle-making-machine. Head-scratchingly original. And presented from the venue’s bathroom. (C.M.)

What a glowing review. If you are tired of sitting in the dark and being so damn adult at a PLAY, then go see this show. What's wrong with being original?

Step outside the box and experience something original, daring highly creative with The Mathemagician's Apprentice. I think many people, most notably the critics in this town forget how important risk, challenge and the breaking of convention are to the health of a strong theatre community. I wish more companies showed the raw, energetic, brilliant creativity and willingness to take risk that Humble Wonder has in such great abundance.

Take the time to head down to the Solstice Cafe, have your self a great bowl of soup or one of the best mochas in town and then spend 20 minutes with humble wonder's latest creation. I would be surprised if you felt that it wasn't time well spent.
