Mainline Theatre’s The Mid-life Crisis of Dionysus has another hit on their hands. Their latest is a hilarious romp through Greek comedy territory (Greek chorus and Deus Ex Machina included) as we watch the God of wine and theatre, react to impending middle age and the realization that the party must, at some point, come to an end.
Nothing is sacred in this production, as historical personas, eras, and ethnic accents collide in a corny, cheesy, “oh my God, did they just say that?” production, certain to elicit laughs and offer a solid 90 min of entertainment.
The Mid-Life of Dionysus is campy, slapstick comedy at its best, but also surprisingly deeply contemplative of a reality we will all have to face (or already have come to terms), as middle age slaps us in the face. Mainline Theatre has another runaway hit on their hands.
Performances are solid by the immensely likeable local cast.
The play runs until March 6. For tickets and/or more information, www.mainlinetheatre.ca.
